Computational methods for exon detection.
Computer methods for the complete and accurate detection of genes in vertebrate genomic sequences are still a long way to perfection. The intermediate task of identifying the coding moiety of genes (coding exons) is now reasonably well achieved using a combination of methods. After reviewing the intrinsic difficulties in interpreting vertebrate genomic sequences, this article presents the state-of-the-art, with an emphasis on similarity search methods and the resources available through Internet.
