Table 1 TIS prediction accuracy of our algorithm (TICO) in comparison with other post-processing tools. RBSfinder [10], GS-Finder [4] and MED-Start [5] were used as post-processors on the same GLIMMER2.02-prediction as TICO. Accuracy was measured in percent of TIS that were predicted correctly with respect to reference annotations. Datasets are explained in detail in section »Results«.
