- Three gene prediction programs, Genscan [93], Fgenes [94] and Grail1.3 [95] were used to screen individual genomic contigs. Exons consistently predicted by more than one program are merged into a unique exon index, which is then compared to transcript- and protein-based exons in complete ORFs. Transcript-confirmed exons, overlapping of predicted exons with transcript-based exons; protein-supported exons, predicted exons have at least strong protein homology (E < 10-15); unconfirmed exons, predicted exons have no overlap with transcripts nor protein homology.
