# Functional Annotation

## Apps

* [Import Annotations From Staging:](https://kbase.us/applist/apps/MergeMetabolicAnnotations/import_annotations/release) Enables upload of third-party annotations like EC and KEGG into KBase.&#x20;
* [Bulk Import Annotations From Staging](https://kbase.us/applist/apps/MergeMetabolicAnnotations/import_bulk_annotations/release): Enables upload of third-party annotations to add to an existing genome into KBase in bulk.
* [Compare Metabolic Annotations](https://kbase.us/applist/apps/MergeMetabolicAnnotations/compare_metabolic_annotations/release): Compare and contrast metabolic annotations from multiple sources.&#x20;
* [Merge Metabolic Annotations](https://kbase.us/applist/apps/MergeMetabolicAnnotations/merge_metabolic_annotations/release): Generate a consensus annotation by combining multiple annotation sources.&#x20;

## Inputs

These apps take [Genomes](https://docs.kbase.us/data/upload-download-guide/genome) with annotations as input. See [Assembling & Annotation Microbial Genomes](https://docs.kbase.us/workflows/assembly-annotation) for more on annotating genomes.

## Narratives

* &#x20;[Importing annotation sources for metabolic modeling](https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/66117) – provides an example using a *Streptomyces coelicolor* strain A3(2) and annotations created in KBase and 3rd party tools.
  * Created and made available by Patrik D'haeseleer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.&#x20;
* [Microbial Genomics in KBase: Drafting Isolate Genomes](https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/83666) and [Microbial Metabolic Model Reconstruction and Analysis](https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/18302) – provide guidance through related workflows.&#x20;
