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.
