Evigan -- an automated gene annotation program for eukaryotic genomes
What you can do:
A hidden variable model for integrating gene evidence for eukaryotic gene prediction.
Highlights:
- Evigan is capable of accommodating a variety of evidence types, including (but not limited to) gene models computed by diverse gene finders, BLAST hits, EST matches, and splice site predictions; learned parameters encode the relative quality of evidence sources.
- Since separate training data are not required (apart from the training sets used by individual gene finders), Evigan is particularly attractive for newly sequenced genomes where little or no reliable manually curated annotation is available.
- The ability to produce a ranked list of alternative gene models may facilitate identification of alternatively spliced transcripts.
