[maker-devel] MAKER version 3.1 and integration with resequencing

[Ole Kristian Tørresen]

Hi Carson.

In the article I linked to, The draft genome sequence and annotation of the desert woodrat Neotoma lepida (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213596016300800), this sentence is found: "To annotate the whole genome, MAKER version 3.1 was run on Neotoma lepida using Trinity assembled mRNA-seq reads (described above), and all annotated mouse and rat proteins available from NCBI (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/).” 

So I guess this version is not available, or maybe they meant 3.0beta1 or something.

ACE looks like a really cool tool, I’ll pass it on to people that have the correct datasets.

Thank you.

Ole

The MAKER fork will take a species reference genome, a VCF file derived from resequenced individuals, and it will rebuild gene models around the individual variation. This allows us to identify simple changes like amino acid substitutions between individuals as well as complex changes related to splicing, exon skipping, etc.

When reading that article, I saw references to MAKER 3.1. As far as I can see from http://yandell.topaz.genetics.utah.edu/cgi-bin/maker_license.cgi, the latest MAKER is 3.00.0-beta. Is 3.1 available somewhere, or is it going to be released soon?

I am very interested in the status of this.
