Description

The Twinscan program predicts genes in a manner similar to Genscan, except that Twinscan takes advantage of genome comparison to improve gene prediction accuracy. More information and a web server can be found at http://mblab.wustl.edu/.

Methods

The Twinscan algorithm is described in Korf I, Flicek P, Duan D, Brent MR. Integrating genomic homology into gene structure prediction. Bioinformatics. 2001 Jun 1;17(90001)S140-8.
