FGENESH+ New GeneFinder with Similarity usage

          We installed New gene-finding HMM based program FGENESH+
 for multiple gene prediction in  genomic DNA with using information
                        from similar protein
	             http://genomic.sanger.ac.uk/
   The Web version of FGENESH+ is prepared to analyse Human, Drosophila,
Nematode and Plant sequences (and other close organisms genes).

The program can be used if you know the protein sequence similar with
protein which is encoded by the gene in your sequence.
You should run first any ab initio gene finding program as FGENES or FGENESH.
Then run BLASTP DB search with each predicted exons. Any true of
predicted exons can provide you by knowledge of known similar protein
(if such protein exist in the DB). Take this protein and run Fgenesh+.
The accuracy of gene prediction will be up to 100% depending of how similar the
predicted and DB protein.

Ab initio gene prediction programs usually predict correctly
significant portion of exons in a gene, but they often do not predict
correctly the whole gene structure:combining several genes in one or
predict several genes instead of one, missing or overpredicting exons.
Using similarity information provided by one or several true predicted
exons we can significantly improve the accuracy of gene finding.

You should provide similarity value (knowing it from the Blast search),
it affects the prediction, because very low similarity
will permit your gene encode the protein which deviates more from
the known similar protein.

     Fgenesh+ output:


      G - the number of predicted gene (from sequence start)
      Str -  DNA strand (+ and - for complementary)
      Feature - type of coding sequence (CDSf - First
                (Starting with Start codon);
                 CDSi - internal (internal exon);
                 CDSl - the last coding seagment,
                        finishing by stop codon)
      TSS - Position of transcription start (TATA-box position and score)

      Start and End - Position of the Feature
      Weight - Log likelihood*10 score for the feature
      ORF-start/end - positions where the complete codons start and end
      The last 3 values: Length of exon, positions in protein, % of similarity
with the target protein
