Abstract: |
Two different paradigms by the goals in gene-finding research have been recognized: 1) to offer computational aid in the annotation of the large volume of genomic data and 2) to provide a computational model helpful in elucidating the mechanisms involved in transcription, splicing, polyadynalation and other important processes on the pathway from genome to proteome [1]. New findings in gene regulation appear to focus a new interest in the latter paradigm approaches [1, 2, 3 and 4]. Therefore, a single weight matrix for the genomic patterns consensus scoring [5, 6] can be substituted by SOFM clusters matrices. This should result in the detection improvement of gene functional sites or signals, and therefore a gain evaluation across the known Burset’s and Guigó’s collection of the genes of 570 vertebrates is provided by a percentile measure on an exemplary site detection statistics. Such an improvement is important in both the “extrinsic” and “intrinsic” approaches [14]. In the “signal” case of the latter [14], a demand is addressed for a neural approach which translates into likelihood scoring. This includes, but is not limited to, applications with HMM (Hidden Markov Model) derived gene finders [7]. The approach is also scalable into a clusters-based solution to genes recognition with the capability of integrating DNA-string-contained knowledge in a novel way. |
