New in RAPT: Better taxonomic assignment and GO annotation

We are excited to announce two improvements to the Read assembly and Annotation Pipeline Tool (RAPT), which allows you to assemble genomic reads for bacterial or archaeal isolates and annotate their genes at the click of a button. Improved taxonomic assignment Now RAPT verifies the scientific name you provide with the reads, and corrects it … Continue reading New in RAPT: Better taxonomic assignment and GO annotation
