*/Computational Analyses and Functional Annotations of Non-Model Bacteria/*
Bacteria are omnipresent organisms of unimaginable diversity. Non-model
ones hide tremendous biosynthetic potential for white biotechnology,
i.e., a technology that uses living cells to synthesize the value-added
chemicals. Bioinformatics analyses of non-model organisms are specific
because many computational tools require the use of datasets that are
unavailable for non-conventional bacteria due to non-existing
microbiological kits to perform desired experiments or simply due to
missing knowledge of required input data. This lecture brings the
author’s personal experience with overcoming these obstacles by using
unique combinations of computational tools and techniques in order to
maximize information gains from analyses of novel genomes of non-model
bacteria.
