Annotation Workflow

The Annotation workflow allows you to run selected annotation tools on an assembled genome (FASTA) without performing trimming or assembly.

Input

  • A FASTA file containing assembled contigs or a complete genome
  • Accepted extensions: .fasta, .fa, .fna

Available Tools

Select any combination of the following tools:

Tool Description Default
Prokka Rapid prokaryotic gene annotation (CDS, rRNA, tRNA, tmRNA) On
MLST Multi-locus sequence typing against PubMLST databases On
Barrnap Ribosomal RNA gene prediction (5S, 16S, 23S) On
Abricate Antimicrobial resistance gene screening against multiple databases On
AMRFinderPlus NCBI's AMR gene and point mutation detection Off
PlasmidFinder Plasmid replicon identification Off
MOB-suite Plasmid classification and typing Off
CRISPRCasFinder CRISPR array and Cas gene detection Off
tRNAscan-SE Transfer RNA gene prediction Off
Phigaro Prophage region detection Off
Kleborate Klebsiella-specific virulence and resistance typing (only for Klebsiella) Off
KOFAM KEGG Orthology functional annotation Off

Output Files

Each tool produces output in the job's predicted/ directory:

  • Prokka: .gff (annotations), .gbk (GenBank), .faa (proteins), .ffn (genes), .txt (summary)
  • MLST: .tsv with sequence type and allele profile
  • Barrnap: .gff with rRNA gene locations
  • Abricate: .tsv with resistance gene hits, coverage, and identity
  • AMRFinderPlus: .tsv with AMR genes and point mutations

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
Genus Yes Organism genus (used by Prokka for annotation)
Species Yes Organism species
Sample Name Yes Name for the analysis run

Tip

You can type a custom genus or species if yours isn't in the dropdown list.

Note

Kleborate only runs when the genus is set to "Klebsiella".
