Genepi

Description
Genepi is a blackboard framework for developing and experimenting with automatic genomes annotation systems. Genepi is not bound to any specific annotation strategy. Instead, you have to specify a blackboard structure in a configuration file and the system will instantiate and run this particular annotation strategy.
A complete description of its architecture can be found in the following BioInformatics paper
