AUGUSTUS is a software for gene prediction in eukaryotic genomic sequences
that is based on a generalized hidden Markov model (HMM), a probabilistic
model of a sequence and its gene structure. After learning gene structures
from a reference annotation, AUGUSTUS uses the HMM to recognize genes in a new
sequence and annotates it with the regions of identified genes. External hints,
e.g. from RNA sequencing, EST or protein alignments etc. can be used to guide
and improve the gene finding process. The result is the set of most likely gene
structures that comply with all given user constraints, if such gene
structures exist.
AUGUSTUS already includes prebuilt HMMs for many species, as well as scripts
to train custom models using annotated genomes.
