Dragon Gene Start Finder identifies approximate locations of the 5' ends of genes
What you can do:
Predict gene start sites in mammalian genomes.
Highlights:
- Dragon Gene Start Finder (DGSF)assesses the gene start in mammalian genomes and predicts a region which should overlap with the first exon of the gene or be in its proximity.
- The program has been rigorously tested on human chromosomes 4, 21 and 22, and in a strand specific search achieves an overall sensitivity of 65% and a positive predictive value of 78%.
- The sensitivity for the CpG-island related promoters is >88%.
