funannotate is a pipeline for genome annotation (built specifically for fungi, but will also work with higher eukaryotes).

• Version: 1.8.7
• Added: August, 2021
• Link: https://github.com/nextgenusfs/funannotate

See versions of funannotate that are available:

$ module avail funannotate

Load a particular version into your environment and run it:

$ module load funannotate/1.8.7
$ funannotate --help

Notes from the sysadmin during installation:

$ mkdir -p /var/tmp/chroot/funannotate
$ rpm --rebuilddb --root=/var/tmp/chroot/funannotate
$ wget https://hpc.ilri.cgiar.org/mirror/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-7-9.2009.0.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

funannotate has over fifty dependencies and is essentially impossible to install without the use of Miniconda. My strategy is to install Conda somewhere globally and then use it to install funannotate. After the installation is done I think we don't technically need Conda itself anymore, as all binaries seem to be linked against libraries in the funannotate/1.8.7 directory. Furthermore, I first installed funannotate/1.8.7 in a chroot on the local file system and then rsynced it over to the network applications directory. This is MUCH faster, but more importantly, it avoids random "permission denied" errors I was getting when installing on the network file system.

To create the modulefile I compared the output env before and after loading the funannotate environment with Conda.

Install databases:

$ module load funannotate/1.8.7
$ funannotate check --show-versions
$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/funannotate/1.8.7/db
$ sudo chown aorth /export/apps/funannotate/1.8.7/db
$ funannotate setup -d /export/apps/funannotate/1.8.7/db

Run built-in tests:

$ funannotate test -t all --cpus 12
