plannotate-plasmid-annotation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the annotation of plasmid DNA sequences, identifying key functional elements like promoters, terminators, and resistance genes, which is crucial for molecular biology research and synthetic biology.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Feature Detection: Uses BLAST to identify promoters, terminators, resistance genes, origins of replication, tags, and fluorescent proteins.
• Versatile Output Formats: Generates annotated GenBank files, interactive HTML plasmid maps, and CSV feature tables.
• Handles Circularity: Correctly annotates circular plasmids, preventing split-feature artifacts.
• Use Case: A researcher has just synthesized a new plasmid and needs to verify its components before proceeding with experiments. They can use this Skill to quickly generate a map and feature list, ensuring all expected elements are present and correctly annotated.
