Bioinformatics Links Directory : Gene PredictionThis section includes links to gene prediction programs for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Resources that evaluate the available gene predicting programs are also included.DGSF- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Dragon Gene Start Finder (DGSF) predicts promoters and transcription start sites (TSS) within CpG islands for mammalian DNA sequences.http://sdmc.lit.org.sg/promoter/dragonGSF1_0/genestart.htm FrameD- (Found July 2, 2008 ) FrameD is a program that predicts coding regions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequences that may contain frameshifts.http://genopole.toulouse.inra.fr/bioinfo/FrameD/FD GeneAlign- (Found July 2, 2008 ) GeneAlign is a gene prediction tool that uses conservation of gene structures and sequence homologies between protein coding regions to increase prediction accuracy. GeneAlign is currently configured to align human and mouse sequences for gene prediction.http://genealign.hccvs.hc.edu.tw/index.htm GeneComber- (Found July 2, 2008 ) GeneComber is an ab initio gene prediction tool developed at the UBC Bioinformatics Centre. It integrates results from two externally developed gene finders and operates on the premise that if these two gene finders agree on a prediction, we can be more confident in the prediction.http://bioinformatics.ubc.ca/genecomber/index.php GeneFizz- (Found July 2, 2008 ) GeneFizz is a tool for identifying genes using by using the physical characteristics of helix-to-coil transitions in DNA.http://pbga.pasteur.fr/GeneFizz/ GeneMark- (Found July 2, 2008 ) The GeneMark family of programs employ Markov models and are specifically tuned for gene prediction for sequences from prokaryotes, viral genomes and eukaryotes.http://opal.biology.gatech.edu/GeneMark/ WU BLAST- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Washington University Basic Local Alignment Search Toolhttp://blast.wustl.edu/ |
