A new set of bioinformatics tools for genome projects.

A new tool called System for Automated Bacterial Integrated Annotation--SABIA (SABIA being a very well-known bird in Brazil) was developed for the assembly and annotation of bacterial genomes. This system performs automatic tasks of assembly analysis, ORFs identification/analysis, and extragenic region analyses. Genome assembly and contig automatic annotation data are also available in the same working environment.

A System for Automated Bacterial (genome) Integrated Annotation--SABIA.

Unlabelled: A web-based software suite, SABIA (System for Automated Bacterial Integrated Annotation), is described that provides a comprehensive computational support for the assembly and annotation of whole bacterial genomes from the data derived from sequencing projects.

Availability: Both SABIA and supplementary materials are available at http://www.sabia.
