(They also reported that 33% of genomes used "other" programs, which in many cases meant that they could not identify the method. Excluding those cases, Glimmer was used for 73% of the genomes for which the methods could be unambiguously identified.) Glimmer was used by the DDBJ to re-annotate all bacterial genomes in the International Nucleotide Sequence Databases.[7] It is also being used by this group to annotate viruses.[8] Glimmer is part of the bacterial annotation pipeline at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI),[9] which also maintains a web server for Glimmer,[10] as do sites in Germany,[11] Canada,.[12]
