HPC-T-Annotator: an HPC tool for de novo transcriptome assembly annotation.

Background: The availability of transcriptomic data for species without a reference genome enables the construction of de novo transcriptome assemblies as alternative reference resources from RNA-Seq data. A transcriptome provides direct information about a species' protein-coding genes under specific experimental conditions. The de novo assembly process produces a unigenes file in FASTA format, subsequently targeted for the annotation.
