Table 1 Comparison of the window-based methods Centroid, INDeGenIUS, SigHunt, and the proposed 2SigFinder on classification of GIs/non-GI datasets. The precision, recall and overall accuracy of each method are calculated based on the number of overlapping nucleotides in both published GIs and predicted GIs
