RAST: Bacterial genome sequence annotations.

An overview on using RAST to annotate a bacterial genome sequence from a nucleotide sequence file.

RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) is a fully-automated, web based service for annotating complete or nearly complete bacterial and archaeal genomes.

RAST can be accessed using the following link: https://rast.nmpdr.org/
