[maker-devel] basic question on maker

[Carson Holt]

> Can maker2 be run without inputting any protein sequences?

Yes. But it will not perform as well.

> How to turn this off in the control files?

Any option left blank is off.


> Also, can i run maker using Augustus and not SNAP? Again, how do i turn SNAP off?

Yes. Leave it blank.


> Does maker also predict non-coding genes?

You can run it with tRNAscan or snoscan. Snoscan requires you to have rRNAs from your organism to train with though.
