  1. Table 5 shows the number of genes predicted by each method on seven Genbank files. The Genbank column indicates the number of genes in the Genbank file. The number in parentheses indicates the number of predicted genes divided by the number of genes in the Genbank file, e.g. 1.10 indicates 10% more genes predicted than the Genbank file.
