The program utilizes tBLASTn and BLASTn algorithms to map genes from the reference genome (the annotated strain) to the new sequence (the unannotated strain). The goal is to annotate the majority of the new genome’s genes in a single step. ORFs present in the target genome and absent from the reference genome are also identified; these ORFs can be further analyzed using BLAST, VGO and BBB. Afterwards, they can either be accepted for/rejected from annotation. GATU can handle multiple-exon genes as well as mature peptides. Although it was designed for use with viral genomes, GATU can also be used to help annotate larger genomes (ie. bacterial genomes).

The output is saved in GenBank, XML, or EMBL file format.

Applications are invited for one post of RA in a DBT funded research project “Creation of Bioinformatics Infrastructure Facility (BIF) for the promotion of Biology Teaching through Bioinformatics (BTBI) Scheme of BTISet”.

Candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics/Biotechnology/Genetics and Plant Breeding with adequate experience in the area of Bioinformatics. If a suitable candidate for the post of RA is not available, a JRF/SRF may be appointed.

Candidate for the post of JRF/SRF should have Master’s degree in relevant subject with adequate experience in the area of Bioinformatics and should be NET/DBT-BINC qualified

Interested candidates may send their bio-data to Prof. H. S. Balyan (hsbalyan@gmail.com) (in exceptional case, bio-data may also be submitted at the time of interview) and attend the interview on Monday, March 30, 2015 at 11:00 AM in the Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, Ch. Charan Singh University, Meerut. Candidates shall bring their original documents at the time of interview for verification. No interview letters will be issued and no TA/DA will be paid.

Though the specific implementation of the idea of the rectangle graph approach is already included into the current SPAdes distribution, we're also releasing the Rectangle Graph Module (RGM) as the separate code which can be run independently of SPAdes. Although RGM differs from the current implementation of the rectangle graph approach in SPAdes, in the future we plan to integrate RGM in SPAdes. RGM can be run with other genome assemblers if they use the graph format as SPAdes files.
