	<description><![CDATA[<p>flo - same species annotations lift over pipeline</p>
<p>Lift over is the process of transferring annotations from one genome assembly to another. Usually lift over is done because there is a new, improved genome assembly for the species and good quality annotations (maybe manually curated or experimentally verified) are available on the old assembly.</p>
<p>The idea is simple: align the new assembly with the old one (e.g., with BLAT), process the alignment data to define how a coordinate or coordinate range on the old assembly should be transformed to the new assembly (e.g., as a chain file), transform the coordinates (e.g., with liftOver).</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Genome Annotation Transfer Utility (GATU)]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Genome Annotation Transfer Utility (GATU) was designed to facilitate quick, efficient annotation of similar genomes using genomes that have already been annotated. For example, whenever a new strain of SARS coronavirus is sequenced, it is possible, using GATU, to automatically annotate the new strain using a previously-annotated strain of SARS CoV. This saves researchers from tedious manual annotation of these sequences.</p>
<p>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&rsquo;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).</p>
<p>The output is saved in GenBank, XML, or EMBL file format.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://virology.uvic.ca/help/tool-help/help-books/genome-annotation-transfer-utility-gatu-documentation/" rel="nofollow">https://virology.uvic.ca/help/tool-help/help-books/genome-annotation-transfer-utility-gatu-documentation/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><code>chromoMap</code>&nbsp;provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of chromosomes or chromosomal regions allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes,SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot.Each chromosome is composed of loci(representing a specific range determined based on chromosome length) that, on hover, shows details about the annotations in that locus range. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.</p>
<p>Some of the prominent features of the package are:</p>
<ul>
<li>visualizing polyploidy simultaneously on the same plot.</li>
<li>annotating groups of elements as distinct colors.</li>
<li>creating chromosome heatmaps.</li>
<li>adjusting chromosome range or visualizing chromosome regions such as genes</li>
<li>adding labels to the plot</li>
<li>adding hyperlinks to each element</li>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Web Apollo is the first instantaneous, collaborative genomic annotation editor available on the web. One of the natural consequences following from current advances in sequencing technology is that there are more and more researchers sequencing new genomes. These researchers require tools to describe the functional features of their newly sequenced genomes. With Web Apollo researchers can use any of the common browsers (for example, Chrome or Firefox) to jointly analyze and precisely describe the features of a genome in real time, whether they are in the same room or working from opposite sides of the world.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://genomearchitect.github.io/" rel="nofollow">http://genomearchitect.github.io/</a></p>]]></description>

It is able to deal with very fragmented genomes, structural rearrangements and various local differences. These features make NucDiff to be perfectly suitable to compare assemblies with each other or with available reference genomes.</p>
<p>NucDiff provides information about the types of differences and their locations. It is possible to upload the results into genome browser for visualization and further inspection. It was written in Python and uses the NUCmer package from MUMmer[1] for sequence comparison.</p>
