<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am using to MAKER to annotate a genome and I would like a couple of clarifications.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the previous version of MAKER, under EST_evidence in maker_opts. ctl the user could input est and est_reads- the mRNAseq reads (although this was not fully implemented).</p>
<p>The latest version of MAKER uses mRNA-seq data to improve annotation quality.</p>
<p>I have assembled transcriptome data from Sanger,454 and Illumina </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do I just provide all this data in a fasta file format to the 'est' option? Is this is the best way to provide the mRNA-seq evidence?Will this assure the mRNA-seq data is used to improve the annotations?
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
