Description & Credits

Twinscan predicts genes in a manner similar to Genscan, except that Twinscan takes advantage of genome comparison to improve gene prediction accuracy. The Nov. 2002 (hg13) human assembly was used in creating this annotation.

The Twinscan algorithm is described in Korf, I., P. Flicek, D. Duan, and M.R. Brent. 2001. Integrating genomic homology into gene structure prediction. Bioinformatics 17:S140-148. More information and a web server can be found at http://genes.cs.wustl.edu/.
