AUGUSTUS is a gene prediction program for eukaryotes written by Mario Stanke, Oliver Keller, Stefanie König, Lizzy Gerischer and Katharina Hoff. It can be used as an ab initio program, which means it bases its prediction purely on the
sequence. AUGUSTUS may also incorporate hints on the gene structure coming from extrinsic sources
such as EST, MS/MS, protein alignments and syntenic genomic alignments. Since version 3.0 AUGUSTUS
can also predict the genes simultaneously in several aligned genomes (see README-cgp.txt).
