PanWSGA

Web-Based Platform for Single-Genome Pangenome Analysis

PanWSGA enables researchers to project a single bacterial genome onto a curated, species-level pangenome reference derived from more than 100,000 high-quality assemblies.

The platform integrates standardized reannotation, a custom classification engine, and a dedicated visualization module to deliver reproducible gene-category profiles and functional summaries within minutes.

Key Features

1. Single-Genome Pangenome Projection

PanWSGA classifies genes from a single genome as core, accessory, cloud, or unique by mapping them to a curated species-level pangenome. This provides pangenome-level context even when no multi-genome dataset is available.

2. Unique Gene Finder

A purpose-built Python engine implementing strict gene-to-cluster matching criteria (≥90% identity and ≥90% coverage). It performs deterministic gene assignment, optimized for large species-level cluster sets, and outputs category-specific FASTA files, tables, and logs.

3. GeneEye Visualization Module

A dedicated visualization subsystem that integrates classification and EggNOG functional annotations to produce structured, publication-ready biological summaries. GeneEye supports both static high-resolution outputs and interactive browser-based charts.

4. Curated, High-Quality Pangenome Database

PanWSGA includes 1,975 species-level pangenomes, each constructed from filtered, uniformly reannotated genomes and manually reviewed to remove cluster inconsistencies, paralog inflation, and contamination.

5. Reproducible, Containerized Pipeline

All analyses follow a fixed, standardized workflow—Prokka → Unique Gene Finder → EggNOG-mapper → GeneEye—executed in a containerized environment for consistency and reproducibility across submissions.

6. Fully Web-Based Execution

All computational steps run on the server. No installation, local dependencies, or computational infrastructure are required.

How It Works

1
Upload

a genome assembly in FASTA format

2
Reannotation

The genome is reannotated using Prokka

3
Gene Classification

Unique Gene Finder maps predicted proteins to pangenome clusters

4
Functional Annotation

EggNOG-mapper assigns COG/KEGG/EC annotations

5
Visualization

GeneEye generates static and dynamic summaries

6
Download

Users receive full output files, annotation tables, and publication-ready figures

Typical runtime: 2–20 minutes depending on genome size

Applications
