Annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes and plasmids with Bakta's Prodigal/HMM/diamond pipeline. Identifies CDS, ncRNA, tRNA, rRNA, tmRNA, sORFs, CRISPR arrays, oriC/oriV/oriT, and gaps against a curated UniRef-derived database. Produces NCBI-compatible GFF3, GenBank, EMBL, JSON, FASTA, TSV, and a circular genome plot. Use Prokka for legacy pipelines or non-bacterial kingdoms; PGAP for NCBI GenBank submission.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Bakta Genome Annotation

## Overview

Bakta is a command-line pipeline for rapid, standardized annotation of bacterial and archaeal genomes and plasmids. It combines Prodigal for CDS prediction, tRNAscan-SE/Aragorn/Barrnap/Infernal for non-coding RNA, PILER-CR/PILERCR for CRISPR detection, and a tiered DIAMOND/HMM search against a curated UniRef100 + IPS/UPS database to assign gene names, EC numbers, GO terms, and COG categories. Bakta produces NCBI-compatible outputs (GFF3, GenBank, EMBL, INSDC-formatted FASTA, plus a JSON summary and a circular Circos plot) for a typical 5 Mb genome in 5–15 minutes on 8 CPUs.

## When to Use

- Annotating bacterial or archaeal genome assemblies (Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore) with NCBI-compatible locus tags and product names
- Annotating plasmids and other circular replicons separately with `--plasmid` and `--complete` flags
- Producing JSON-structured annotation outputs that can be parsed without GenBank or GFF3 detours
- Generating a publication-ready circular genome plot via the bundled `bakta_plot` command
- Annotating MAGs (metagenome-assembled genomes) with `--meta` to disable Prodigal training

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/bakta-genome-annotation@sha256:96cec1bdfddb5a8d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.7a7d60f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
