prepareannotation

prepareannotation performs clustering, filtering, and sorting of exon annotations within the Galaxy platform to prepare genomic annotation files for downstream genomic analyses at Institut Pasteur.

Key Features:

• Clustering of Annotations: Organizes genomic annotations into clusters to group related annotation records.
• Filtering of Exon Annotations: Removes or retains exon entries based on user-specified criteria to refine annotation files.
• Sorting of Annotations: Orders annotation records to produce systematically arranged annotation files.
• Galaxy Integration: Interfaces with the Galaxy platform via its API or the Bioblend library and executes on the Institut Pasteur compute cluster.

Scientific Applications:

• Metagenomic Analysis: Prepares annotation sets for downstream metagenomic workflows that require curated exon annotations.
• Phylogenetic Studies: Produces filtered and sorted annotation files suitable for phylogenetic and comparative genomics analyses.
• Genomic Investigations: Supports high-throughput genomic workflows that depend on clustered and curated annotation data.

Methodology:

Performs clustering, filtering, and sorting of exon annotations within the Galaxy ecosystem, using the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library for communication and execution on the Institut Pasteur compute cluster.
