eggnog-mapper is a tool for fast functional annotation of novel sequences
|
|
(genes or proteins) using precomputed eggNOG-based orthology assignments.
|
|
Obvious examples include the annotation of novel genomes, transcriptomes or
|
|
even metagenomic gene catalogs. The use of orthology predictions for functional
|
|
annotation is considered more precise than traditional homology searches, as it
|
|
avoids transferring annotations from paralogs (duplicate genes with a higher
|
|
chance of being involved in functional divergence).
