Prokka
Rapid prokaryotic genome annotation
...Given a FASTA file of contigs, it predicts genes, rRNAs, tRNAs, and other functional elements, then assigns functions by comparing to reference protein databases and HMM profiles. It outputs GenBank, GFF, and other formats compatible with downstream tools and genome browsers. Prokka handles common complications—overlapping ORFs, frameshifts, alternate start codons—while providing customizable databases so researchers can bias domain or strain-specific annotations. The pipeline is optimized for speed, using multithreading and caching to annotate large microbial genomes in minutes. ...
