Fast functional annotation of novel sequences using eggNOG orthology assignments.
Project description
Overview
EggNOG-mapper is a tool for fast functional annotation of novel sequences. It uses precomputed orthologous groups and phylogenies from the eggNOG database (http://eggnog5.embl.de) to transfer functional information from fine-grained orthologs only.
Common uses of eggNOG-mapper include the annotation of novel genomes, transcriptomes or even metagenomic gene catalogs.
The use of orthology predictions for functional annotation permits a higher precision than traditional homology searches (i.e. BLAST searches), as it avoids transferring annotations from close paralogs (duplicate genes with a higher chance of being involved in functional divergence).
Benchmarks comparing different eggNOG-mapper options against BLAST and InterProScan can be found here.
EggNOG-mapper is also available as a public online resource: http://eggnog-mapper.embl.de
