News/MAKER 2.0, AGS Workshop
From GMOD

MAKER, the easy to use genome annotation pipeline, is now version 2.0.
Some of the current features and other improvements
- Improved gene model preparation and evidence filtering...
- mRNAseq data in your annotations (use output from programs like TopHat, CuffLinks, and others in MAKER)...
- Annotate eukaryotes and prokayotes...
- Pass through any kind of evidence evidence from any source via GFF3 pass-through...
- Easy single-command-line dump of MAKER output to a Chado database and to JBrowse...
- Same directory parallelization - just start MAKER on top of itself, and it will share the workload with the new process...
- Auto recovery - start, stop, and restart MAKER at any time; MAKER will always just pick up where it left off...
- optional web base GUI for a local MAKER installation
There will also be a workshop on MAKER on June 12 at the 4th Annual Arthropod Genomics Symposium in Kansas City. If you are attending AGS and are interested in genome annotation, please consider attending.
Thanks,
Carson Holt
