Technical Information
Overview

Manual genome annotation is often more accurate and complete than automated systems, but it is expensive and depends on the skill of the annotator. EAnnot (Electronic Annotation) combines a number of tools to exploit publicly-available data for fast, reliable automatic gene prediction and annotation. The program creates gene models based on mRNA, EST, and protein alignments to genomic sequence. It also attaches supporting evidence to the corresponding genes and captures other attributes, e.g. pseudogenes, poly-A sites, and signals.
