Table 4 Translation initiation site prediction performance of the new gene prediction algorithm (Neural Net) and MetaGene according to »reliable annotation subsets« (A subset of »verified genes« from »EcoGene« for Escherichia coli [28], all non-y genes of the Bacillus subtilis GenBank annotation and the »PseudoCAP« annotation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [29]). TIS prediction sensitivity and correctness were measured on artificial 700 bp fragments that were randomly excised from each test genome to 5-fold coverage. Mean and standard deviation over 10 replicates per species are shown.
