The Problem

How do you generate consistent and accurate annotations for metagenomes?


The SEED Family


Annotations using subsystemsFIG developed the notion of Subsystem – a generalization of “pathway” as a collection of functional roles jointly involved in a biological process or complex

Extended subsystems into FIGfams – protein families that perform the same functions.


Annotation of Complete Genomes

• Automated user originated processing

• Takes 1-7 hours depending on size and complexity of the genome

• ~2,000 external submissions, including hundreds of genomes not yet publicly released.

• Reannotation of >500 genomes complete

• 1,000 users, 200 organizations, 25 countries.
