Home of the SEED
With the growing number of genomes becoming available, a software environment is needed to produce accurate and consistent annotations.
The SEED is that environment, we provide a public SEED-Viewer that allows read-only access to the latest data and annotations. For users interested in editing and learning how to use the system, we also provide a public SEED.
The annotation is performed not on a gene by gene basis per genome, but rather by subsystem by an expert curator across many genomes at a time.
- You can download software and data from our Download page.
- We provide a list Glossary of terms used.
- When using the SEED, please cite: Overbeek et al., Acids Res 33(17), 2005
- Ross Overbeek laid out the strategy for the annotation of the first 1000 genomes.
- Our approaches to annotation, gene calling etc are outlined in a series of Standard Operating Procedures.
