[maker-devel] Question about EST Requirement for MAKER gene annotation

[Hadi Islam]

Thanks Carson.

FYI: EST is no longer a required option for maker web service.

I talked to Hadi.  He will remove the error for not selecting an EST database.

You should be able to still submit data without ESTs, as long as you
already have an HMM model for SNAP or one of the other gene prediction
algorithms.  Although it is possible that the webservice is throwing
an error when no EST data is submitted (Hadi can answer this, he is
Cc’ed on the e-mail).  MAKER itself does not absolutely require EST
data to run correctly.

Thanks,

I recently registered for the online MAKER beta version.  I do not
have reliable EST information for the genes I would like to annotate,
but your beta version appears to require EST data to annotate
nucleotide sequences.  Is there any way to submit a nucleotide
sequence for annotation by MAKER without EST data?
