ABACAS, that is able to contiguate contigs from a de novo assembly against a closely related reference.

IMAGE, an iterative approach for closing gaps in assembled genomes using mate pair information. It is able to close gaps left open by the assembler in a draft genome, even when using the same data sets as used by the original assembler.

iCORN, that enables errors in the consensus sequence to be corrected by iteratively mapping reads to the current assembly. An improved version, especially correction Pacfic Bioscience assemblies (PacBio) can be found here.

RATT, a tool to transfer the annotation from a reference genome, or an earlier assembly, onto the latest assembly.

PAGIT bundles these software and makes them more accessible for users.

Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction of protein-coding genes, as well as other functional genome units such as structural RNAs, tRNAs, small RNAs, pseudogenes, control regions, direct and inverted repeats, insertion sequences, transposons and other mobile elements.

NCBI has developed an automatic prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline that combines ab initio gene prediction algorithms with homology based methods. The first version of NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP; see Pubmed Article) developed in 2005 has been replaced with an upgraded version that is capable of processing a larger data volume. You can find a more detailed description of the new version of the pipeline in NCBI Handbook chapter. NCBI's annotation pipeline depends on several internal databases and is not currently available for download or use outside of the NCBI environment.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in
Bioinformatics or a related field. Candidates are expected to have a
strong background in evolutionary biology and/or comparative functional
genomics. Additional experiences in single cell functional genomics
analyses, statistics and computational data analyses are a plus, as is
an interest in comparative developmental (EvoDevo) questions.

We offer a dynamic and interactive research environment with state-of-the
art research facilities, good research funding and internationally
competitive salaries.

The Tschopp lab (www.evolution.unibas.ch/tschopp/research/)
studies the gene regulatory mechanisms of cell type
specification and evolution in vertebrates. See also our
preprints at https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.26.586769 and
https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.28.625862 Applications should include
a motivation letter, a CV, a list of publications, a statement about
research interests, as well as the names and contact details of at
least two referees. Applications (in the form of a single .pdf file)
should be sent to Patrick Tschopp (patrick.tschopp@unibas.ch); review
of applications will begin on January 1st 2025, and will continue until
the position is filled.
