G-OnRamp: a Galaxy-based platform for collaborative annotation of eukaryotic genomes.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: G-OnRamp provides a user-friendly, web-based platform for collaborative, end-to-end annotation of eukaryotic genomes using UCSC Assembly Hubs and JBrowse/Apollo genome browsers with evidence tracks derived from sequence alignments, ab initio gene predictors, RNA-Seq data and repeat finders. G-OnRamp can be used to visualize large genomics datasets and to perform collaborative genome annotation projects in both research and educational settings. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The virtual machine images and tutorials are available on the G-OnRamp web site (http//g-onramp.org/deployments). The source code is available under an Academic Free License version 3.0 through the goeckslab GitHub repository (https//github.com/goeckslab). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
