Abstract
Summary G-OnRamp provides a user-friendly, web-based platform for collaborative, end-to-end annotation of eukaryotic genomes using UCSC Assembly Hubs and JBrowse/Apollo genome browsers with evidence tracks derived from sequence alignments, ab initio gene predictors, RNA-Seq data, and repeat finders. Researchers can use the G-OnRamp output to visualize large genomics datasets, and can utilize the output to drive collaborative genome annotation projects in both research and educational settings.
Availability and Implementation The G-OnRamp virtual machine images and tutorials are freely available on the G-OnRamp web site (http://g-onramp.org/deployments). The G-OnRamp source code is freely available under an Academic Free License version 3.0 through the goeckslab GitHub repository (https://github.com/goeckslab).
