# curve2hints(1)

tool to make exon segmentation and grouping the exons together to form AUGUSTUS hints

## 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)
