How can I discover gene function on a bacterial genome

I have a bacterial genome, but I need more information about it.

I have made Roary to have the clusters of orthologous genes, like OrthoMLC does. I would like to know what softwares I can use to discover the biological function of these genes. I want to split these groups into their functions to have a better understanding.

You can use eggNOG-mapper

Prokka is a very fast and efficient bacterial genome annotation pipeline. You can install it with conda and run locally the annotation.

RAST is an annotation server, in addition to a good annotation, it also provides lots of summaries and figures about the annotation. There is a waiting line, but it shouldn't take longer than a day do finish one genome.

Thanks. I saw the tweet, but I was not aware it was on conda already.

I have updated the blog post.
