GeSeq - versatile and accurate annotation of organelle genomes.

ABSTRACT: We have developed the web application GeSeq (https://chlorobox.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/geseq.html) for the rapid and accurate annotation of organellar genome sequences, in particular chloroplast genomes. In contrast to existing tools, GeSeq combines batch processing with a fully customizable reference sequence selection of organellar genome records from NCBI and/or references uploaded by the user. For the annotation of chloroplast genomes, the application additionally provides an integrated database of manually curated reference sequences. GeSeq identifies genes or other feature-encoding regions by BLAT-based homology searches and additionally, by profile HMM searches for protein and rRNA coding genes and two de novo predictors for tRNA genes. These unique features enable the user to convenientl
