New FGENESH with GC-donor exon gene prediction program

[Victor Solovyev]

We installed New Version of gene-finding HMM based program FGENESH (GC) 
 for multiple gene prediction including GC-exons in  genomic DNA at
                     http://genomic.sanger.ac.uk/

 
FGENESH (with possible Donor GC) - Prediction of multiple genes in genomic
DNA sequences 
A NEW version of FGENESH program including NONCANONICAL GC dinucleotide in
donor splice sites. 
This is the first program including in prediction the noncanonical exons.
Donor GC splice site is accounting for the major part of non-standard splice
sites in
human genes. It present about 0.6% of all splice sites and observed in more
than 5% of human
genes. 
The noncanonical splice sites we investigated by us recently (Burset,
Seledtsov and Solovyev,
 1999 in preparation) and we received about 20000 verified by EST splice
sites.
 We received a very strong GC-donor site weight matrix which is used in gene
prediction program. 
We have developed this variant of program to predict GC-donor exons in
addition to standard
exons and we preserve the accuracy of program on the standard genes. Testing
the
program on 68 human genes with at least one GC donor site shows that FGENESH
(GC) 
provide 10% higher rate of exact exon prediction for such group and 5%
higheraccuracy on the
nucleotide livel.
