Australian Fgenesh++ Service

FGENESH++ is now open to all users on Galaxy Australia, without the need to request access. We no longer offer Fgenesh++ as a separate service. 

Please note: You can now access FGENESH++ directly via Galaxy Australia

Fgenesh++ is a bioinformatics pipeline for automatic prediction of genes in eukaryotic genomes. It can produce fully automated genome annotations of a quality similar to manual annotation, and is extremely fast compared to some other automated genome annotation pipelines.

It works by: (a) performing ab initio gene prediction; (b) running predicted amino acid sequences of all potential exons through a non redundant protein sequence database; and (c) running a second round of gene prediction with higher scores assigned to exons homologous to known proteins.

An example of self-paced learning performing genome annotation using FGENESH++ can be found here. Take a look at these summaries from two trial users of the service.

Fgenesh++ is installed on computational resources provided by Galaxy Australia, and is supported by Bioplatforms Australia, which is enabled by NCRIS. Access is managed by Australian BioCommons.
