VIGOR
VIGOR (VIral Genome ORF Reader) is a homology-driven viral gene finder capable of predicting proteins, polyproteins and mature peptides. VIGOR is able to identify and properly handle typical viral transcriptional and translational exceptions, like ribosomal slippage, RNA editing, stop codon readthrough, etc.
The package consists of the software and a collection of highly-curated reference databases, one for each type of virus VIGOR is capable to annotate.
Enabling VIGOR to annotate a new virus is as simple as creating a new specific reference database and updating configuration files.
