Functional annotation helps bringing biological meaning to genetic sequences. Functional annotation is usually obtained through protein sequence similarity. Indeed, across two organisms, if two sequences are very similar, one can infer that they can encode for the same biological function.

There are several main parameters that will impact the process of functional annotation:
