ANNOgesic is an RNA-seq analysis pipeline that can detect sRNAs and many other genomic features in bacteria and archaea. In addition to listing sRNA candidates, ANNOgesic also generates various formats of data files for visual examination and downstream experimental design. Based on validations from previous studies, the sRNA predictions are accurate and reliable. In this chapter, we outline the sRNA detection algorithm, important parameters used, step-by-step execution, and data interpretation with a B. pertussis study as an example. Following those procedures, novel sRNA can be revealed by ANNOgesic.
