Creating training set from assembled RNAseq transcripts

Hi,
I have generated extrinsic hits from RNASeq data for my species. I want to test the enhanced prediction accuracy. Is it okay to test the improved prediction accuracy with the test set created from protein alignment with Scipio? If not then how can I create training set from assembled RNAseq transcripts?
Thanks!

Hi Sam,
you could create training gene structures from assembled RNA-Seq data using for example PASA (e.g. using http://bioinf.uni-greifswald.de/webaugustus). The resulting quality highly depends on the quality of your assembly. I would probably stick with the Scipio-genes, but keep in mind that those genes must not necessarily be covered by RNA-Seq data.

Thanks Katharina,
I will also stick with Scipio-genes. Is the hints generated from RNASeq data can also be used to re-optimize the Augustus parameters for trained species?

No, you cannot use hints to re-optimize AUGUSTUS parameters for protein coding genes.

We now provide and recommend BRAKER1 for training AUGUSTUS from RNA-Seq: http://bioinf.uni-greifswald.de/bioinf/ ... index.html
