X Abstract

We describe CONTRAST, a gene predictor which directly incorporates information from multiple alignments rather than employing phylogenetic models. This is accomplished through the use of discriminative machine learning techniques, including a novel training algorithm. We use a two-stage approach, in which a set of binary classifiers designed to recognize coding region boundaries is combined with a global model of gene structure. CONTRAST predicts exact coding region structures for 65% more human genes than the previous state-of-the-art method, misses 46 fewer exons and displays comparable gains in specificity.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
