EGAPx takes an assembly fasta file, a taxid of the organism, and RNA-seq data. Based on the taxid, EGAPx will pick protein sets and HMM models. The pipeline runs `miniprot` to align protein sequences, and `STAR` to align RNA-seq to the assembly. Protein alignments and RNA-seq read alignments are then passed to `Gnomon` for gene prediction. In the first step of `Gnomon`, the short alignments are chained together into putative gene models. In the second step, these predictions are further supplemented by _ab-initio_ predictions based on HMM models. The final annotation for the input assembly is produced as a `gff` file.
