The Apollo annotation tool is a plugin for JBrowse that allows registered users to manually edit genes or annotate new genes. After registered users select a genome assembly under JBrowse/Apollo in the navigation bar above, they can click "login" located on the right end of the upper blue bar to activate the Apollo annotation tools. Users who do not wish to login can still use the navigation tools in JBrowse to view genes and other tracks without editing.
Your full name and actual email address are required for registration. If you provide an official university or government email address, we will create your account and get back to you without further question. With a commercial or non-official email address, we will send you an email to inquire about your institution and your interest in genome annotation. We take these cautionary measures to protect the submitted data of other users.
Those who wish to view and export existing user annotations can login to Apollo with the username aquamine_guest and password guest. This will not allow editing genes or annotating new genes.
The Apollo development website provides a user guide with technical details.
