BASys (Bacterial Annotation System) is a freely available web server that can be used to perform automated, comprehensive annotation of bacterial genomes. With the advent of next generation DNA sequencing it is now possible to sequence the complete genome of a bacterium (typically ~4 million bases) within a single day. This has led to an explosion in the number of fully sequenced microbes. In fact, as of 2013, there were more than 2700 fully sequenced bacterial genomes deposited with GenBank. However, a continuing challenge with microbial genomics is finding the resources or tools for annotating the large number of newly sequenced genomes. BASys was developed in 2005 in anticipation of these needs. In fact, BASys was the world’s first publicly accessible microbial genome annotation web server. Because of its widespread popularity, the BASys server was updated in 2011 through the addition of multiple server nodes to handle the large number of queries it was receiving. More information...
