Schematic modular pipeline of RASTA-Bacteria. Step 1: provide a nucleic genome sequence in GenBank or raw Fasta format. Step 2: tune the search parameters (optional). Step 3: launch the search; each module calculates a local score, and possibly modifies the dataset (Sx = score at level x; Ny = number of ORFs in dataset; Lz = length distribution of dataset; b1 = bonus). Step 4: output in webpage and/or results files available for download.
