Abstract

SummaryTo support small and large-scale genome annotation projects, we present AMAW (Automated MAKER2 Annotation Wrapper), a program devised to annotate non-model unicellular eukaryotic genomes by automating the acquisition of evidence data (transcripts and proteins) and facilitating the use of MAKER2, a widely adopted software suite for the annotation of eukaryotic genomes. Moreover, AMAW exists as a Singularity container recipe easy to deploy on a grid computer, thereby overcoming the tricky installation of MAKER2. AvailabilityAMAW is released both as a Singularity container recipe and a standalone Perl script (https://bitbucket.org/phylogeno/amaw/).
