Genome annotation with Funannotate
Below are video tutorials for this GTN material, created for various (past) events.
Tutorial Video (May 2023)
Description:
Genome annotation of eukaryotes is a little more complicated than for prokaryotes: eukaryotic genomes are usually larger than prokaryotes, with more genes. The sequences determining the beginning and the end of a gene are generally less conserved than the prokaryotic ones. Many genes also contain introns, and the limits of these introns (acceptor and donor sites) are not highly conserved.
In this tutorial we will use a software tool called Funannotate (Palmer and Stajich 2020) to annotate the genome sequence of a small eukaryote: Mucor mucedo (a fungal plant pathogen).
