SAPP

Please note that SAPP-2.0 is nearly finished and we are working on upgrading the documentation

Semantic Annotation Platform with Provenance

SAPP is a Semantic genome Annotation Platform with Provenance and is designed on the basis of Semantic Web. The platform and corresponding modules allows you to annotate genomes of various qualities linked to a full chain of data provenance. Resulting is an annotated genome in the RDF data model which you can query and analyse using SPARQL. Various modules are available which allows you to compare, annotate and visualise genomes and export your annotations to various standard genome annotation formats.

For a global overview of the modules available look under the Modules section on the left. The modules are broken up into three subsections. The Conversion section, allowing to convert various formats to the RDF data model. Genetic elements contains modules for the prediction of genes, tRNA, tmRNA and rRNAs with each containing a corresponding RDF model. Protein annotation contains modules to further annotate the proteins either predicted using the gene prediction module or through the conversion modules.
