TL;DR: A fully automated service for annotating bacterial and archaeal genomes that identifies protein-encoding, rRNA and tRNA genes, assigns functions to the genes, predicts which subsystems are represented in the genome, uses this information to reconstruct the metabolic network and makes the output easily downloadable for the user.

TL;DR: The Model SEED is introduced, a web-based resource for high-throughput generation, optimization and analysis of genome-scale metabolic models and introduces techniques to automate nearly every step of this process, taking ∼48 h to reconstruct a metabolic model from an assembled genome sequence.

TL;DR: The genome of the eukaryotic protist Giardia lamblia, an important human intestinal parasite, is compact in structure and content, contains few introns or mitochondrial relics, and has simplified machinery for DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and most metabolic pathways.

TL;DR: The method sets the stage for the automated generation of substantially complete metabolic networks for over 400 complete genome sequences currently in the SEED, an open-source software environment for comparative genome annotation and analysis.
