Augustus prediction with RNASeq Hints

Hi,
I are working on an insect genome re-annotation. Initially ~17000 gene-models were predicted with Glean. In my ab-initio predictions with Augustus I found 200 more gene-models in compare to Glean (that was okay). But when I added the hints generated from unassembled RNASeq data, I got almost "2500" more gene-models. I wonder if I have drawn any mistake?
Thank you!

To check that, you should inspect the results visually, e.g. in a GBrowse or a UCSC-Browser, in context with the RNA-Seq alignments.

Thanks, but is it possible to have increment of ~2500 gene models while adding the intronic hints? if yes then why? I used the protocol mentioned at http://bioinf.uni-greifswald.de/bioinf/ ... seq.Tophat
Thanks you!

Obviously, it is possible. The question is whether it is good or whether you should do something about it (e.g. modify parameters in the extrinsic.cfg file). Visual inspection might be most helpful to get an idea.
