Computational Approaches for Gene Prediction: A Comparative Survey

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 252))

Abstract

Accurate gene structure prediction plays a fundamental role in functional annotation of genes. The main focus of gene prediction methods is to find patterns in long DNA sequences that indicate the presence of genes. The problem of gene prediction is an important problem in the field of bioinformatics. With the explosive growth of genomic information there is a need for computational approaches that facilitate gene location, structure and functional prediction. In this paper, we survey various computational approaches for gene predictions
