CPGAVAS2, an integrated plastome sequence annotator and analyzer

We previously developed a web server CPGAVAS for annotation, visualization and GenBank submission of plastome sequences. Here, we upgrade the server into CPGAVAS2 to address the following challenges: (i) inaccurate annotation in the reference sequence likely causing the propagation of errors; (ii) difficulty in the annotation of small exons of genes petB, petD and rps16 and trans-splicing gene rps12; (iii) lack of annotation for other genome features and their visualization, such as repeat elements; and (iv) lack of modules for diversity analysis of plastomes. In particular, CPGAVAS2 provides two reference datasets for plastome annotation. The first dataset contains 43 plastomes whose annotation have been…
