Abstract
UNLABELLED: The multiplex capability and high yield of current day DNA-sequencing instruments has made bacterial whole genome sequencing a routine affair. The subsequent de novo assembly of reads into contigs has been well addressed. The final step of annotating all relevant genomic features on those contigs can be achieved slowly using existing web- and email-based systems, but these are not applicable for sensitive data or integrating into computational pipelines. Here we introduce Prokka, a command line software tool to fully annotate a draft bacterial genome in about 10 min on a typical desktop computer. It produces standards-compliant output files for further analysis or viewing in genome browsers. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Prokka is implemented in Perl and is freely available under an open source GPLv2 license from http://vicbioinformatics.com/.

NCBI prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline

TL;DR: The new NCBI's Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) relies less on sequence similarity when confident comparative data are available, while it relies more on statistical predictions in the absence of external evidence.

Roary: Rapid large-scale prokaryote pan genome analysis

TL;DR: Roary, a tool that rapidly builds large-scale pan genomes, identifying the core and accessory genes, is introduced, making construction of the pan genome of thousands of prokaryote samples possible on a standard desktop without compromising on the accuracy of results.

The Pfam protein families database

TL;DR: The definition and use of family-specific, manually curated gathering thresholds are explained and some of the features of domains of unknown function (also known as DUFs) are discussed, which constitute a rapidly growing class of families within Pfam.

Pfam: the protein families database.

TL;DR: Pfam as discussed by the authors is a widely used database of protein families, containing 14 831 manually curated entries in the current version, version 27.0, and has been updated several times since 2012.

SignalP 4.0: discriminating signal peptides from transmembrane regions

TL;DR: SignalP 4.0 was the best signal-peptide predictor for all three organism types but was not in all cases as good as SignalP 3.0 according to cleavage-site sensitivity or signal- peptide correlation when there are no transmembrane proteins present.
