We recommend you follow the tutorials in the order presented on this page. They have been selected to fit together and build up your knowledge step by step. If a lesson has both slides and a tutorial, we recommend you start with the slides, then proceed with the tutorial.

Learn how to annotate a prokaryotic genome sequence: find the position and function of genes, and even set up a manual curation environment with Apollo.

Module 1: Introduction

General introduction to genome annotation

Time estimation:

Learning Objectives
Lesson Slides Hands-on Recordings
Introduction to Genome Annotation

Module 2: Gene calling and functional annotation

In this module you will learn to run tools to find the position of genes and other genomic components and to functionally annotate them

Time estimation: 3 hours

Learning Objectives
  • Run a series of tool to annotate a draft bacterial genome for different types of genomic components
  • Evaluate the annotation
  • Process the outputs to formate them for visualization needs
  • Visualize a draft bacterial genome and its annotations

Module 3: Manual curation

Automatic annotation is rarely perfect, in this module you will learn how to start a collaborative manual curation project using Galaxy and Apollo

Time estimation: 3 hours

Learning Objectives
  • Load a genome into Galaxy
  • View annotations in JBrowse
  • Learn how to load JBrowse data into Apollo
  • Learn how to manually refine genome annotations within Apollo
  • Export refined genome annotations
