AUGUSTUS (3.2.3) is a gene prediction tool
written by M. Stanke, O. Keller, S. König, L. Gerischer and L. Romoth.

usage:
augustus [parameters] --species=SPECIES queryfilename

'queryfilename' is the filename (including relative path) to the file containing the query sequence(s)
in fasta format.

SPECIES is an identifier for the species. Use --species=help to see a list.

parameters:
--strand=both, --strand=forward or --strand=backward
--genemodel=partial, --genemodel=intronless, --genemodel=complete, --genemodel=atleastone or --genemodel=exactlyone
  partial      : allow prediction of incomplete genes at the sequence boundaries (default)
  intronless   : only predict single-exon genes like in prokaryotes and some eukaryotes
  complete     : only predict complete genes
  atleastone   : predict at least one complete gene
  exactlyone   : predict exactly one complete gene
--singlestrand=true
  predict genes independently on each strand, allow overlapping genes on opposite strands
  This option is turned off by default.
--hintsfile=hintsfilename
  When this option is used the prediction considering hints (extrinsic information) is turned on.
  hintsfilename contains the hints in gff format.
--AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH=path
  path to config directory (if not specified as environment variable)
--alternatives-from-evidence=true/false
  report alternative transcripts when they are suggested by hints
--alternatives-from-sampling=true/false
  report alternative transcripts generated through probabilistic sampling
--sample=n
--minexonintronprob=p
--minmeanexonintronprob=p
--maxtracks=n
  For a description of these parameters see section 4 of README.TXT.
--proteinprofile=filename
  When this option is used the prediction will consider the protein profile provided as parameter.
  The protein profile extension is described in section 7 of README.TXT.
--progress=true
  show a progressmeter
--gff3=on/off
  output in gff3 format
--predictionStart=A, --predictionEnd=B
  A and B define the range of the sequence for which predictions should be found.
--UTR=on/off
  predict the untranslated regions in addition to the coding sequence. This currently works only for a subset of species.
--noInFrameStop=true/false
  Do not report transcripts with in-frame stop codons. Otherwise, intron-spanning stop codons could occur. Default: false
--noprediction=true/false
  If true and input is in genbank format, no prediction is made. Useful for getting the annotated protein sequences.
--uniqueGeneId=true/false
  If true, output gene identifyers like this: seqname.gN

For a complete list of parameters, type "augustus --paramlist".
An exhaustive description can be found in the file README.TXT.
