+Glimmer3 gene calling workflow
+==============================
+
+This Tool Shed Repository contains a workflow for the gene prediction of from a given nucleotide FASTA file.
+
+At first an interpolated context model (ICM) is build from a know set of genes, preferable from the closest relative available organism(s). In a following step this ICM model is used to predict genes on the second input. The output is a FASTA file with nucleotide sequences that is further converted to proteins sequences.
+
+To run that worflow glimmer_ und the EMBOSS_ suite is required. Both can be installed from the Tool Shed.
