How can I go about annotating contigs of a rice genome? Can I simply do a BLAST search, considering that japonica rice is already annotated? Please give leads on any easy to install and use software.
With a big genome like rice that would not be a trivial thing. Use the annotated genome to transfer as much annotation as you can (doing blast to identify similarities). Depending on how different your variety of rice is from japonica this process is going to be variably successful. RATT may also be useful.
