GAIUS - Maintenance activities for the sustainability of AUGUSTUS

AUGUSTUS is a tool for the structural annotation of genes in genomic sequences. Within this joint project with Prof. Dr. Mario Stanke from the University of Greifswald, we will work on the maintenance of AUGUSTUS. While the prediction methods of AUGUSTUS were advanced over the years, the maintainability and sustainability. This is highlighted by usability issues, but also general issues within the codebase. This project will focus solely on the maintenance of AUGUSTUS to improve upon this, i.e., improve the usability of AUGUSTUS, as well as the maintainability of the codebase. This project is funded for three years by the DFG LIS program.
