Prokka

Overview

Prokka used for rapid prokaryotic genome annotation. Whole genome annotation is the process of identifying features of interest in a set of genomic DNA sequences, and labelling them with useful information. Prokka is a software tool to annotate bacterial, archaeal and viral genomes quickly and produce standards-compliant output files.

Using

Use the module name prokka to discover versions available and to load the application.

Multicore

The prokka command can run using multiple cores, please see the --cpus option from calling prokka -h for more details.

From our observations, you need to explicitly set this value to utilize all the cpus-per-task that you request. For example:

[]$ salloc -A <project-name> -t 1:00:00 -c 16 ... []$ prokka <filename>.fasta --compliant --cpus 16
