Gene prediction with UTR=on option
Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2022 5:58 pm
Good afternoon,
I am carrying out some gene predictions on my species of interest, using the AUGUSTUS parameters defined by training on WebAUGUSTUS.
By performing gene prediction with the utr=on option, the number of genes predicted is significantly reduced compared to the gene prediction with the utr=off option. In addition, when the UTR option is on, all predicted genes start at nucleotide 1 of the scaffolds into which the genome of interest is divided. I wanted to try to understand a possible explanation to these results.
Thank you very much, best regards,
Simone
