Sensitivity versus specificity rates for GeneSplicer and GeneSplicerESE. Sensitivity is defined as the fraction of all true splice sites found by the splice site predictor; specificity is the fraction of the predicted elements labelled correctly as splice sites. Rates are shown for a) donor sites (GS don and GSESE don), and b) acceptor sites (GS acc and GSESE acc). Results are obtained using a 5-fold cross-validation procedure on the ESEAra data set. Weight matrices for the selected motifs to describe each of the splice sites were recomputed on each training data set from the 5 partitions of the CV procedure.
