Description

MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.
It's purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic
genomeprojects to independently annotate their genomes and to create
genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to
a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically
synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based
quality values. MAKER is also easily trainable: outputs of preliminary
runs can be used to automatically retrain its gene prediction algorithm,
producing higher quality gene-models on subsequent runs. MAKER's inputs
are minimal and its ouputs can be directly loaded into a GMOD database.
They can also be viewed in the Apollo genome browser; this feature of
MAKER provides an easy means to annotate, view and edit individual
contigs and BACs without the overhead of a database. MAKER should prove
especially useful for emerging model organism projects with minimal
bioinformatics expertise and computer resources. Note: MAKER requires
registration. Fill out the form at
