Upon the completion of whole genome sequencing, thorough genome annotation that associates genome sequences with biological meanings is essential. Genome annotation depends on the availability of transcript information as well as orthology information. In teleost fish, genome annotation is seriously hindered by genome duplication. Because of gene duplications, one cannot establish orthologies simply by homology comparisons. Rather intense phylogenetic analysis or structural analysis of orthologies is required for the identification of genes. To conduct phylogenetic analysis and orthology analysis, full-length transcripts are essential. Generation of large numbers of full-length transcripts using traditional transcript sequencing is very difficult and extremely costly.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software package as de novo genomic assembler for short read sequencing technologies using de Bruijn graphs. Takes in short read sequences, removes errors, then produces high quality unique contigs, retrieves repeated areas between contigs. Can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies. Operating system Unix/Linux.
