Genome Assembly and Genome Annotations Prediction | PATRIC Part 1 | Lecture 61| Dr. Muhammad Naveed

Assembling a Genome
A genome assembly is the sequence produced after chromosomes from the organism have been fragmented, those fragments have been sequenced, and the resulting sequences have been put back together. This is currently needed as DNA sequencing technology cannot read whole genomes in one go, but rather can read small pieces of between 20 and 30,000 bases, depending on the technology used. Typically the short fragments called reads, result from shotgun (random) sequencing of genomic DNA.
Genome Annotation Service
The Genome Annotation Service uses the RAST tool kit, RASTtk, to provide annotation of genomic features. Once the annotation process has started by clicking the Annotate button, the genome is queued as a “job” for the Annotation Service to process and will increment the count in the Jobs information box on the bottom right of the page. Once the annotation job has successfully completed, the output file will appear in the workspace, available for use in the PATRIC comparative tools and downloaded if desired.
