# curve2hints(1) ## NAME curve2hints - tool to make exon segmentation and grouping the exons together to form AUGUSTUS hints ## SYNOPSIS *curve2hints* --in=file --outexons=out.gff --c=int --s=float ## OPTIONS *--in=s*:: iput file is single file containing tracks in wig format *--outexons=s*:: file for the output segmentaion *--c*:: specify the threshold to distinguish between introns and exons in terms of coverage depths (default 4) *--s*:: specify the ratio *(1-lambda1)/(1-lambda2)* It should be >1 (default 1.12) *--z*:: specify the chunk size (default value 50000) *--r*:: To enable re-estimation of distribution from the output produced *--train_file*:: Specify the gff file to be used for training the distributions.It should contain the position of both introns and exons *--bed_file*:: Specify the output bedfile which contains the position of gene jumps (default: output.bed) *--augustus_hints*:: Specify the output augustus hint file(default: augustus_hints.gff) ## AUTHORS AUGUSTUS was written by M. Stanke, O. Keller, S. König, L. Gerischer and L. Romoth. ## ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION An exhaustive documentation can be found in the file /usr/share/augustus/README.TXT.
