The dynamic structure and functions of genomes are being revealed simultaneously with the progress of genome analyses. Evidence indicating genome regional characteristics (genome annotations in a broad sense) provide the basis for further analyses. Target listing and screening can be effectively performed in silico using such data. This chapter describes steps to obtain publicly available genome annotations or construct new annotations based on your own analyses, as well as an overview of the types of available genome annotations and corresponding resources.
