RESEARCH

SEQUENCING AND ANNOTATION

Sequencing and Annotation

The annotation of genomes from high-throughput sequencing platforms needs to be rapid, high-throughput, automated, and fully integrated with any downstream analysis. We have deployed software systems on DoD high-performance computing assets for protein function annotation (PIPA), enzyme classification (CatFam), and strain identification (SNIT). Furthermore, we have developed a complete storage and annotation system for microbioal genome sequences (AGeS), with multiple functionalities.
