URGI genome annotation system:an integrated system for structural and functional genome annotation

Abstract

The URGI platform (http://urgi.versailles.inra.fr) develops a genome annotation system dedicated to plants and their pathogens. This Integrated System relies on: (i) pipelines for Transposable Elements annotation (REPET) and gene structural and functional predictions (ii) databases and user-friendly interfaces to browse and query the data (URGI Information System GnpIS, Genome Report System GRS), (iii) A distributed annotation system for curation of gene structure
