alexpersa7/genome-annotation

A nextflow pipeline with automatic software provisioning to generate hints and subsequent genome model predictions with AUGUSTUS

ESGA - Genome Annotation

This pipeline can be used to generate "hints" from aligned sequence evidence to annotate a genome de novo.

Pipeline main steps

1. Hints file is generated from all available evidences (proteins, EST and/or RNA-seq reads).

2. Gene models are predicted using Augustus with the hints file as extrinsic evidence (optional).

The minimum requirements are a genome file and at least one type of evidence.

Test data
