Agmial is an integrated system for bacterial genome annotation. It is currently used at INRA for the newly sequenced bacterial genomes : Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus sakei and Flavobacterium psychrophilum, as well as the re-annotation of Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis and faecium.

Agmial has been developed with the following requirements in mind:
  maximize annotation automation,
  ability to work on draft sequences,
  keep the program modular and extensible,
  choose informatics and bioinformatics standards when possible (e.g. Web Services, RDBMS, ...)
  distribute the program under an open-source license.
