For most eukaryotic non-model organisms no single automated pipeline exists for genome assembly and gene annotation.
Currently, manual curation including evaluation of genome assemblies and gene models is essential for obtaining high-quality data. With thousands to tens of thousands of genes in one eukaryotic species alone, genome assembly with following manual gene curation presents a major roadblock for transformative research with eukaryotic non-model organisms. Our ATG platform presents a pipeline, first for genome assembly accepting data from a variety of sequencing technologies followed by high-throughput functional gene annotation.
