I am trying to use Augustus in MAKER to help with annotating as many genes as possible from genomic reads of a primate sample. I am new to using gene prediction tools such as SNAP and Augustus, but was told Augustus would be better for primates. I tried using
reference mRNAs and protein sequences from NCBI on the sample contig file included with the MAKER software and it ran ok. My question is how do I now use the output to train Augustus iteratively and thus create a file set of annotations from my original input?
<br>
<br>
After creating the control files with maker -CTL, the only configurations I made to maker_opts.ctl were:<br>
genome=data/hsap_contig.fasta # contig file from example data<br>
est=data/mRNAs.fa # RNAs filtered to just mRNAs<br>
protein=data/protein.fa<br>
est2genome=1<br>
protein2genome=1<br>
<br>
I will eventually replace the contig file with our scaffolds file from the assembly. I know the output created a gff file along with protein and mRNA files. Do I then need to change the maker_opts file to account for the new files and if so how and what should
the maker__opts file look like now? Was Augustus supposed to be set up on the initial maker run or do I wait until the second run after est2genome and protein2genome were used to initialize training for Augustus and how do the configurations change between
multiple iterations because I have a solid annotation set? <br>
<br>
Sorry for all the questions, newbie here with a lot of data to work with. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
