Analysis and Prediction of Exon, Intron, Intergenic Region and Splice Sites for A. Thaliana and C. Elegans Genomes (Report‪)‬

1. INTRODUCTION With the completion of the genomes sequencing, more and more efforts were being put into understanding the functional elements encoded in a genome [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Annotation of gene structure in eukaryotic genomes currently involves both computational and experimental approaches [7,8,9,10]. Driven by this explosion of genome data and a need to analyze draft data quickly, genefinding programs have also proliferated, particularly those that were designed for specific organisms [11,12, 13,14,15]. However, the accuracy was still far from satisfaction [16].
