# TransDecoder.Predict(1)

Transcriptome Protein Prediction

## NAME

Transdecoder - Transcriptome Protein Prediction

## USAGE

Required:

```
 -t <string>                            transcripts.fasta
```

Common options:

```
 --retain_long_orfs_mode <string>        'dynamic' or 'strict' (default: dynamic)
                                        In dynamic mode, sets range according to 1%FDR in random sequence of same GC content.

 --retain_long_orfs_length <int>         under 'strict' mode, retain all ORFs found that are equal or longer than these many nucleotides even if no other evidence
                                         marks it as coding (default: 1000000) so essentially turned off by default.)
 --retain_pfam_hits <string>            domain table output file from running hmmscan to search Pfam (see transdecoder.github.io for info)
                                        Any ORF with a pfam domain hit will be retained in the final output.

 --retain_blastp_hits <string>          blastp output in '-outfmt 6' format.
                                        Any ORF with a blast match will be retained in the final output.
 --single_best_only                     Retain only the single best orf per transcript (prioritized by homology then orf length)
 -G <string>                            genetic code (default: universal; see PerlDoc; options: Euplotes, Tetrahymena, Candida, Acetabularia, ...)
 --no_refine_starts                     start refinement identifies potential start codons for 5' partial ORFs using a PWM, process on by default.
```

Advanced options

```
 -T <int>                               If no --train, top longest ORFs to train Markov Model (hexamer stats) (default: 500)
                                        Note, 10x this value are first selected for removing redundancies,
                                        and then this -T value of longest ORFs are selected from the non-redundant set.
```
