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

May 19 Webinar: Using the new web RAPT service to assemble and annotate prokaryotic genomes

Join us on May 19, 2021 at 12PM eastern time to learn how to use the new  RAPT pilot service to assemble and annotate public or private Illumina genomic reads sequenced from bacterial or archaeal isolates at the click of a button. RAPT consists of two major components, the genome assembler SKESA and the Prokaryotic Genome … Continue reading May 19 Webinar: Using the new web RAPT service to assemble and annotate prokaryotic genomes

NCBI at CSHL Biology of Genomes, May 11 – 14, 2021

NCBI staff will be presenting virtual posters at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory  Biology of Genomes Meeting, May 11 -14, 2021. The posters will cover the following topics: 1) a cloud-ready suite of tools (PGAP, RAPT , and SKESA) for assembling and annotating prokaryotic genomes,  2) Datasets — a new set of services for downloading … Continue reading NCBI at CSHL Biology of Genomes, May 11 – 14, 2021
