Automatic annotation of organellar genomes with DOGMA

Abstract Summary: The Dual Organellar GenoMe Annotator (DOGMA) automates the annotation of organellar (plant chloroplast and animal mitochondrial) genomes. It is a Web-based package that allows the use of BLAST searches against a custom database, and conservation of basepairing in the secondary structure of animal mitochondrial tRNAs to identify and annotate genes. DOGMA provides a graphical user interface for viewing and editing annotations. Annotations are stored on our password-protected server to enable repeated sessions of working on the same genome. Finished annotations can be extracted for direct submission to GenBank. Availability: http://phylocluster.biosci.utexas.edu/dogma/ Supplementary information:…
