In order to use geneMarker you will need to download a key file and put it into your home directory. Please follow instructions as given below:
1) Go to http://exon.gatech.edu/GeneMark/license_download.cgi, fill the requested fields are read the license text. Note: you can select any tool and platform actually, e.g. GeneMark-ES/ET/EP+ ver 4.71_lic and LINUX64.
2) After pressing "I agree ..." button you will be redirected to a download page. You will need to download the 64bit key file only. The key file gm_key_64.gz will be downloaded to your local drive. Then please transfer it to the cluster using a transfer node. Please refer to Transferring Files.
3) The key file downloaded is in gzip format, on the cluster please unpack it (with gunzip) and move it to ~/.gm_key (the name should be exactly like this, with a dot in the beginning), for example:
gunzip gm_key_64.gz mv gm_key_64 ~/.gm_key
where ~ is your home directory. i.e /home/MyID. Once the .gm_key file has been placed in your home dir you should be able to run GeneMarker.

Usage: /apps/eb/GeneMark-ET/4.71-GCCcore-11.3.0/gmes_petap.pl [options] --sequence [filename]
GeneMark-ES Suite version 4.71_lic
Suite includes GeneMark.hmm, GeneMark-ES, GeneMark-ET and GeneMark-EP algorithms.
Input sequence/s should be in FASTA format.
Select one of the gene prediction algorithms:
To run GeneMark-ES self-training algorithm
--ES
To run GeneMark-ET with hints from transcriptome splice alignments
--ET [filename]; file with intron coordinates from RNA-Seq read splice alignment in GFF format
--et_score [number]; default 10; minimum score of intron in initiation of the ET algorithm
To run GeneMark-EP with hints from protein splice alignments
--EP
--dbep [filename]; file with protein database in FASTA format
--ep_score [number,number]; default 4,0.25; minimum score of intron in initiation of the EP algorithm
or
--EP [filename]; file with intron coordinates from protein splice alignment in GFF format
To run GeneMark.hmm predictions using previously derived model
--predict_with [filename]; file with species specific gene prediction parameters
To run ES, ET or EP with branch point model. This option is most useful for fungal genomes
--fungus
To run hmm, ES, ET or EP in PLUS mode (prediction with hints)
--evidence [filename]; file with hints in GFF format
To run algorithms with alternative genetic codes
--gcode [number]; default 1; supported 1 and 6/26
Output formatting options:
--format [label]; default GTF; output gene prediction in GTF of GFF3 format
--work_dir [folder name]; default current working directory .;
Masking option
--soft_mask [number] or [auto]; default auto; to indicate that lowercase letters stand for repeats;
algorithm hard masks only lowercase repeats longer than specified length
In 'auto' mode hard masking threshold is selected by algorithm based on the size of the input genome
--mask_penalty [number] or [auto]; default 0.03;
Run options
--cores [number]; default 1; to run program with multiple threads
--pbs to run on cluster with PBS support
--v verbose
Optional sequence pre-processing parameters
--max_contig [number]; default 5000000; will split input genomic sequence into contigs shorter then max_contig
--min_contig [number]; default 50000 (10000 fungi);
will ignore contigs shorter than min_contig in training
--max_gap [number]; default 5000; will split sequence at gaps longer than max_gap
Letters 'n' and 'N' are interpreted as standing within gaps
--max_mask [number]; default 5000; will split sequence at repeats longer then max_mask
Letters 'x' and 'X' are interpreted as results of hard masking of repeats
Optional parameters
--max_intron [number]; default 10000 (3000 fungi); maximum length of intron
--max_intergenic [number]; default 50000 (10000 fungi); maximum length of intergenic regions
--min_contig_in_predict [number]; default 500; minimum allowed length of contig in prediction step
--min_gene_in_predict [number]; default 300 (120 fungi); minimum allowed gene length in prediction step
--gc_donor [value]; default 0.001; transition probability to GC donor in the range 0..1;
'off' switches GC donor model OFF
--gc3 [number]; GC3 cutoff in training for grasses
Developer options
--training to run only training step of algorithm; applicable to ES, ET or EP
--prediction to run only prediction step of algorithms using species parameters from previously executed training; applicable to ES, ET or EP
--usr_cfg [filename]; use custom configuration from this file
--ini_mod [filename]; use this file with parameters for algorithm initiation
--key_bin
--debug
