GAG

GAG generates NCBI-compatible annotation tables by converting and curating annotated whole genome sequencing (WGS) assemblies into the NCBI annotation table (.tbl) format for submission to the NCBI Genome Assembly database.

Key Features:

• Conversion to .tbl: Converts annotated genome assemblies into the NCBI annotation table (.tbl) file format.
• Annotation assessment: Performs assessment of annotations to identify issues requiring curation.
• Post-annotation filtering: Applies post-annotation assembly filtering to select or remove features prior to submission.
• Annotation transfer: Transfers annotations from assembly files into the .tbl structure required by NCBI.
• NCBI compliance: Generates .tbl files aligned with the requirements of the NCBI Genome Assembly database.

Scientific Applications:

• WGS submission preparation: Preparing whole genome sequencing (WGS) data and annotated assemblies for submission to the NCBI Genome Assembly database.
• Assembly curation: Curation and standardization of annotated genome assemblies prior to repository deposition.
• Post-annotation QC: Post-annotation quality control and filtering of assemblies in WGS projects.

Methodology:

Performs annotation assessment, post-annotation assembly filtering, transfer of annotations, and conversion of assemblies into the NCBI annotation table (.tbl) format.
