The advent and widespread availability of massively parallel DNA sequencing technology and the development of its applications [gene annotation, gene expression, protein–protein interaction (PPI) and pathway analysis] are leading to genomic era in which full genome sequencing of a variety of organisms will become universal in the global scientific community. The availability of genomic sequences has provided many excellent opportunities for interpretation and understanding of the expression of RNA and proteins. Many valuable computational tools have been developed to assist in the annotation of a variety of genome sequences. Further, older computational tools have been
