SnowyOwl: accurate prediction of fungal genes by using RNA-Seq and homology information to select among ab initio models

Abstract

SnowyOwl efficiently uses RNA-Seq data to produce accurate gene models in both well-studied and novel fungal genomes. The source code for the SnowyOwl pipeline (in Python) and a web interface (in PHP) is freely available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/snowyowl/.
