In the early par...

AUGUSTUS: ab initio prediction of alternative transcripts

AUGUSTUS is a software tool for gene prediction in eukaryotes based on a Generalized Hidden Markov Model, a probabilistic model of a sequence and its gene structure. Like most existing gene finders, the first version of AUGUSTUS returned one transcript per predicted gene and ignored the phenomenon of alternative splicing. Herein, we present a WWW server for an extended version of AUGUSTUS that ...

Stepwise Enabling of AUGUSTUS for MediGRID

In the past years researchers from many domains have discovered Grid technology as it opens up new possibilities to solve more complex problems than with traditional cluster computing. In this report we examine the process to enable the life science application AUGUSTUS for execution inMediGRID. The gridification process starts with providing the security requirements and running the applicatio...
