In a nutshell, BlastKOala makes heavy use of phylogenetic relationships among sequences in order to propagate functional annotation of so called KEGG orhtolog groups (KO) to further sequences. It is a Blast based tool that additionally compares domain architectures between the sequences in a KO group and a new candidate. <figure> {{  :physaliacg:blastkoala.png?600  }} <caption><fs 0.8em>Workflow of the two tools for assigning KO numbers to an unanotated protein sequence.
