Using several pair-wise informant sequences for de novo prediction of alternatively spliced transcripts

Table 4 Effect of increasing informant subset size

	Pair-wise prediction characteristics
Informant set size	Two	Three	Four	Five	Six	Annotation
Average transcripts per gene	1.76	2.44	3.05	3.62	4.15	2.25
Average exons per transcript	9.31	9.67	9.94	10.16	10.35	8.64

The number of coding transcripts per gene and coding exons per transcripts increases with the cardinality of the informant set. The gene level accuracy also increases with informant set size (see Figure 3).
