PECAAN was designed to allow a network of genome annotators, reviewers, and quality checkers, to view the same gene evidence during the gene annotation process. Supporting evidence for gene start sites and potential functions can be check-marked and all entries are recorded in a change-log. Notes and functions can be entered for each gene to allow communication between users. A number of reports can be exported for further processing and submission.
Gene evidence is drawn from the following sources and stored in the PECAAN database:
Glimmer
GeneMark
Phamerator
Starterator
NCBI BLAST
PhagesDB BLAST
HHPred
Conserved Domain Database
tRNA Scan SE
Aragorn tRNA and tmRNA scan
TmHmm transmembrane prediction
TOPCONS transmembrane prediction
Account Request
PECAAN is designed for the annotation of bacterial phages and requires that users login. Login accounts can be set-up for an institution by a local Admin, PECAAN administrator. Admins will also be able to upload phages to PECAAN (see tutorials) for annotation by users within their institution.
To request an Admin account, please contact:
