A new tool called System for Automated Bacterial Integrated
Annotation - SABIA (sabiá being a very well-known bird in
Brazil) was developed for the assembly and annotation of
bacterial genomes. This system performs automatic tasks
of assembly analysis, ORFs identification/analysis, and
extragenic regions analysis. Genome assembly and contigs
automatic annotation data are also available in the same
working environment. The system integrates several public
domain and newly developed software programs capable of
dealing with several types of databases and it can be
portable to different operational systems. These programs
interact with most of the well-known biological data
banks/softwares such as Glimmer, the BLAST family programs,
Interpro, COG, Kegg, Psort, GO, tRNAScan, RBSFinder and
they can be also used to identify the genome's metabolic
pathways.
