A cross-species alignment tool (CAT)
Background: The main two sorts of automatic gene annotation frameworks are ab initio and alignment-based, the latter splitting into two sub-groups. The first group is used for int...

Gene prediction in eukaryotes with a generalized hidden Markov model that uses hints from external sources
Background: In order to improve gene prediction, extrinsic evidence on the gene structure can be collected from various sources of information such as genome-genome comparisons an...
