Abstract:
Background
Two of the main objectives of the genomic and post-genomic era are to structurally and functionally annotate genomes which
consists of detecting genes' position and structure, and inferring their function (as well as of other features of genomes).
Structural and functional annotation both require the complex chaining of numerous different software, algorithms and methods
under the supervision of a biologist. The automation of these pipelines is necessary to manage huge amounts of data released
by sequencing projects. Several pipelines already automate some of these complex chaining but still necessitate an important
contribution of biologists for supervising and controlling the results at various steps.
