Species were thought to be cohesive mostly as a result of recurrent genetic exchange among them, but I was...

AUGUSTUS: ab initio prediction of alternative transcripts

AUGUSTUS is a software tool for gene prediction in eukaryotes based on a Generalized Hidden Markov Model, a probabilistic model of a sequence and its gene structure. Like most existing gene finders, the first version of AUGUSTUS returned one transcript per predicted gene and ignored the phenomenon of alternative splicing. Herein, we present a WWW server for an extended version of AUGUSTUS that ...
