Keywords Gene Recogmtion, Global Ahgnments, Comparative Genomlcs 1. INTRODUCTION A fundamental task In analyzmg genomes is to ldenufy the genes This is relatively straightforward for orgamsms with compact genomes (such as bacteria, yeast, rims and worms), because exons tend to be large and the mtrons are rather non-existent or tend to TI - Human and mouse gene structure: comparative analysis and application to exon prediction DO - 10.1145/332306.332326 DA - 2000-04-08 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/association-for-computing-machinery/human-and-mouse-gene-structure-comparative-analysis-and-application-to-7M7ZI240qU DP - DeepDyve ER -
