Abstract
The genome sequence of an organism is an information resource unlike any that biologists have previously had access to. But the value of the genome is only as good as its annotation. It is the annotation that bridges the gap from the sequence to the biology of the organism. The aim of high-quality annotation is to identify the key features of the genome - in particular, the genes and their products. The tools and resources for annotation are developing rapidly, and the scientific community is becoming increasingly reliant on this information for ail aspects of biological research.Keywords
