    Evaluating RAST annotation

    Hi everyone,
    I'm doing an annotation using RAST in a non-ordered contigs genome and I'm having trouble to determine if the annotation was done properly or not, because the reference genomes avaible are not that close to my microorganism... so I have almost half of my CDS not agrouped in subsystems, and also, I can't tell how bad it is.
    How can I evaluate the quality of the annotation? How can I decide if a CD is properly annotated or not?
    Can anyone help me, please ?

    I did something like this recently and about 40% of genes did not get a COG assignment. One way to evaluate the quality would be to check for a list of core housekeeping genes to make sure they are present and correctly annotated.

      Thank you Cliffbeall! That's what I did... the ones that interests me are there and well annotated... I think I'll move on like that...
      thanks again!

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
