Seven popular programs for gene prediction in eukaryotic organisms are described and evaluated on the basis of availability for in-house and on-line use and prediction accuracy. This report outlines generally applicable approaches to computational gene prediction and known limitations in this field.Computational determination of coding regions in eukaryotic genomes is an important problem 1, 2 that has been brought into the spotlight by advances in genomic sequencing. 3–5 Since the publication of the human genome, public interest in gene finding has somewhat declined, but this change in fashion does not make the problem of computational gene prediction any less valid or useful. While it is clear that at present no computer algorithm would be able to annotate a newly sequenced genome in a fully automated fashion, gene-finding programs have substantial utility, in particular when they are combined with large volumes of experimental data. 3 The goal of this review is to describe and compare the computer programs for gene finding in eukaryotic organisms that are available to the average user, and to describe limitations and considerations that arise in practice. The following seven programs are discussed: FgeneS, 6 Genie, 7 GenScan 8 and derived from it GenomeScan, 9 HMMGene, 10 geneid 11 and GlimmerM. 12 These are not all the gene-finding programs developed to date. Rather these are the most modern and advanced methods, able to predict multiple, complete eukaryotic gene structures in an unannotated DNA sequence, and in some cases able to include homology information in the theoretical prediction. The last five methods are also suited for
