PhAnToMe ToolBox

Very useful

The ToolBox: The RAST family
• (At least) Five ways to annotate a genome via RAST:
– RAST (http://rast.nmpdr.org)
• annotates online, saves your genome on server
– myRAST (local)
• uses the server but you can edit offline)
– “PhAST” (http://www.phantome.org/PhageSeed/Phage.cgi?page=phast)
• phage-optimized gene-calling
– Use your favorite gene caller then upload gbk file to RAST
– RASTtk (second-generation RAST)
• modular
• batch upload

http://rast.nmpdr.org

“PhAST”: phage-optimized RAST

RASTtk (RAST toolkit)

RASTtk command-line

RAST Video demos available

DEMO
How to?

What do you need
to annotate your genome?
• A sequenced genome
• Format: fasta or genbank (.gbk)
• A RAST username and password
• You can find some data to play with at
http://egybio.net/tutorial/

1. Optimize RASTtk for phage

x

2. Command-line RASTtk (Batch option)
• Where?
– On IRIS
(http://tutorial.theseed.org/services/docs/invoc
ation/Iris/iris.html)
– On your desktop (Download RASTtk)

• How?
– The key is to convert each contigs file (fasta)
to so-called “Genome-typed object” GTO
– Once you have GTOs for all your genomes,
you can run a couple of commands to
annotate each of them OR put them in a
folder and annotate in batch

• Commands:
o rast-create-genome
rast-create-genome --scientific-name ”Enterophage
Lambda" --genetic-code 11 --domain Virus --contigs
lambda.fasta > lambda.gto
o rast-process-genome
o rast-process-genome-batch
o rast-export-genome

3. Browse your favorite genome

4. Explore the protein page
• Annotation history
• Compare region
• Evidence
– similarities
– literature

4. Explore the protein page
• Find your favorite protein

5. Align proteins (in context)
• Evidence> Similarities> Align
• Compare region, advanced settings
• Phylogenetic trees

5. Align proteins (in context)

THE COMMUNITY
The Opera of PhAnToMe 2.0

SEED allows community annotation

Annotations will improve
only if YOU help
