[maker-devel] Question about "maker-", "augustus_masked", "snap_masked" gene model

[Quanwei Zhang]

Hello:

Would you please explain what is the difference between
"maker-...-agustus..." and "augustus_masked..." gene models?

I know  "augustus_masked..." gene models are raw august predictions, while
"maker-...-agustus..." are hit derived gene models. But by default, maker2
reports gene models with evidence support (protein sequences or
transcripts). Then why some gene models are hit derived while other models
(with evidence support) are raw augustus prediction (even there are protein
sequences or transcript evidence)?

BTW, is it true that generally the "maker-...-agustus..." gene models are
more reliable than the "augustus_masked..." gene models?

Thanks

Best
Quanwei
