🦠🧬🖥️ Excited to share release v1.0 of Bakta: a new tool for rapid & standardized annotations of bacterial genomes & #plasmids github.com/oschwengers/ba… more details 👇 1/n
Bakta annotates bacterial genomes & plasmids in minutes comparable to Prokka (kudos @torstenseemann) adding distinct features: annotation of small proteins, alignment-free protein identification, a taxon-independent DB, ample Dbxrefs, JSON output, utilizing complete replicons 2/n
In addition to standard feature types, Bakta also detects and annotates known small proteins (#sORF) (<30 aa) which are often overlooked b/c they’re not called by gene prediction tools, e.g. Prodigal. They play vital roles in virulence, stress response, gene regulation, etc. 3/n
