Train a preexisting parameters

[hiroshisuga]

Is it possible to train a pre-existing parameters?

I am trying to train augustus with a protein hint starting from a pre-existing species (Trichoplax_adherens). For this end I employed "--species Trichoplax_adherens" together with "--useexisting". However, braker.pl seems to have skipped the Augustus training step (only copied the Trichoplax parameters and predict genes by using them). It did not create new parameter files as I expected.

However, the document reads: "--useexisting: Use the present config and parameter files if they exist for 'species'; will overwrite original parameters if BRAKER performs an AUGUSTUS training."

How do I force braker.pl to perform the Augustus training starting from a preexisting species and overwrite the original parameters?
