AEGeAn Toolkit: analysis and evaluation of genome annotations

The AEGeAn Toolkit provides a bundle of software tools for evaluating gene structure annotations and genome organization. The LocusPocus program is designed a break down an annotated eukaryotic genome into its constituent parts, and the fidibus workflow brings in a variety of other programs and scripts to summarize genome content and the spacing genes. The code conforms to our RAMOSE philosophy: it generates reproducible, accurate, and meaningful results; it is open (source) and designed to be scalable and easy to use.

Installation

Documentation

The main AEGeAn Toolkit documentation is available at https://aegean.readthedocs.io/en/stable/. This documentation is focused on the core C library and the programs that directly call this library.

Documentation for the fidibus module, recently merged into AEGeAn, is available from the original (and now deprecated) GenHub project.

• quick start: https://github.com/standage/genhub/#quick-start-example-usages
• user manual: https://github.com/standage/genhub/blob/master/docs/MANUAL.md
• developer documentation: https://github.com/standage/genhub/blob/master/docs/DEVELOP.md

We are in the process of combining and standardizing these separate sources of documentation.
