Table 3 Translation initiation site prediction correctness (TIS correctness) and complete/incomplete classifi-cation accuracy (Gene Type Accuracy) of the Neural Net and MetaGene according to GenBank annotation. Performance was measured on 700 bp fragments that were randomly excised from each test genome to 5-fold coverage (mean and standard deviation for 10 replicates per species are given).
