Curr Protoc Bioinformatics. 2015 Dec 17:52:4.1.1-4.1.17. doi: 10.1002/0471250953.bi0401s52.

Abstract

Genome projects have evolved from large international undertakings to tractable endeavors for a single lab. Accurate genome annotation is critical for successful genomic, genetic, and molecular biology experiments. These annotations can be generated using a number of approaches and available software tools. This unit describes methods for genome annotation and a number of software tools commonly used in gene annotation.
