Augustus

module avail augustus/

Augustus is a gene prediction program for eukaryotes. It can be used as an ab initio program, which means it bases its prediction purely on the sequence. AUGUSTUS may also incorporate hints on the gene structure coming from extrinsic sources such as EST, MS/MS, protein alignments and syntenic genomic alignments.

Usage

You may need to adjust environment variable AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH to point to some writable directory with configurations. Eg.:

mkdir $SCRATCHDIR/augustus_configs
cp -r $AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH/* $SCRATCHDIR/augustus_configs/
export AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH=$SCRATCHDIR/augustus_configs
