What is it for?
For identifying new genomic features on a genome sequence or draft assembly using appropriate computational tools.
What skills does it represent?
This badge is diverse and covers many pieces of software and approaches. May include one or more of
- Command-Line "many vs many" BLAST
- Lift-over (moving one set of annotations from one version of assembly to another)
- Large scale protein domain finding e.g PFAM searches with hmmer or Secretion Signal searches with PSORT
- Gene Finding ab initio with predictors like Augustus, FGenesH or Maker
Key Skill
In a single analysis the bearer knows how to use bioinformatics to create annotations that identify the possible function of genomic features across large, genome scale datasets.
