Abstract

The annotation of the tomato genome performed by the iTAG consortium (international Tomato Annotation Group) relied on a pipeline operating as a distributed, worldwide network of resources and experts. It used SGN (http://solgenomics.net/) as a central data repository and exchange node. For the iTAG pipeline, used for tomato and potato, we relied on software, as it has besides its own ab initio prediction capabilities, also an extended flexibility to integrate and combine a high diversity of extrinsic data, and other prediction results from other software. Transcript data of numerous origins were mapped on the genome sequence using several software. The detailed procedure is described.
