Sequencing technology in the last decade has advanced at an incredible pace. Currently there are hundreds of microbial genomes available with more still to come. Automated genome annotation aims to analyze this amount of sequence data in a high-throughput fashion and help researches to understand the biology of these organisms. Manual curation of automatically annotated genomes validates the predictions and set up ‘gold’ standards for improving the methodologies used. Here we review the methods and tools used for annotation of fungal genomes in different genome sequencing centers.
