摘要: Background The SEED integrates many publicly available genome sequences into a single resource. The database contains accurate and up-to-date annotations based on the subsystems concept that leverages clustering between genomes other clues to accurately efficiently annotate microbial genomes. backend is used as foundation for annotation tools, such Rapid Annotation using Subsystems Technology (RAST) server whole annotation, metagenomics RAST random community annotations, clearinghouse exchanging from different resources. In addition web user interface, also provides Web services API programmatic access data in SEED, allowing development of third-party tools mash-ups.
