BIRAP
Bacterial Intergenic Region Analysis Pipeline
BIRAP (Bacterial Intergenic Region Analysis Pipeline) is an open source, easy to use Perl pipeline that can be used to re-annotate bacterial genomes using experimental data. The tool integrates expression profile derived from RNA-seq and/or proteogenomics, compares it with existing in silico annotation and helps validate annotation, identify novel protein coding regions, putative non-coding RNA as well as help correct er-rors in the existing annotation. The pipeline requires “pileup” output from SAMtools for RNA-seq data and peptide/ePST locus file (GFF) from the Proteogenomic Mapping tool for prote-ogenomics data along with the genome and existing in silico annotation. ...
