Evigene and ORF prediction

Hi all,

I am using Evigene to get the transcriptomes of my non-model organisms. However, based on some of my comparisons, it seems to me Evigene tr2aacds is only takin ATG as a potential start codon.

Does anybody have more experience on this? What is the reasoning behind removing the alternative start codons (TTG, CTG)?

start orf codon evigene

my first guess would be that Evigene (don't really know that) might be focused on eukaryotic species/genomes/genes and there the ATG is the predominant startcodon, the alternative starts are very very rare in eukaryotes (they tend to be more common in prokaryotes for instance)
