This folder contains AUGUSTUS predictions run with different evidence as input:


- with evidence


    The predictions in the folder usingEvidence were made using hints from several other UCSC tracks:

    * Human mRNAs and Spliced Human ESTs aligned with BLAT
    * TransMapped RefSeq genes from mouse, rat, cow, chicken and dog
    * Retroposed Genes
    * Exoniphy and PhastCons Conserved Elements

    They include both 5'UTR and 3'UTR predictions and alternative transcripts.
    These are far more accurate than the ab initio predictions and more accurate than the de novo predictions.


- de novo

   These predictions are de novo in the sense that no transcribed data was used. These 
   predictions use only the human genome sequence and evolutionary conservation. The 
   conservation information was extracted from the Exoniphy track and the PhastCons 
   Conserved Elements track from the UCSC genome browser. Further, hints about retroposed 
   genes were used, that are based only on previous de novo predictions of AUGUSTUS. No 
   transcribed sequences were used for this track.

   The predictions incluce both UTRs. A single transcript per gene is predicted.


- ab initio

   Only the human genome was used as input.
