Short Abstract: We have developed a novel iterative method for estimating parametersof hidden Markov models for gene finding in newly sequencedspecies. We have used our approach to produce initial annotation ofnewly sequenced Schistosoma japonicum draft genome. Our new gene setprovides a first glimpse at a gene complement of a flatworm (phylumplatyhelmintes). |

Short Abstract: Gene prediction is essential during the annotation of metagenomic sequencing reads. In a benchmark test, we compared the performance of gene prediction tools on simulated reads with sequencing errors. Our results suggest that the incorporation of similar error-compensating methods into metagenomic gene prediction tools may improve their quality significantly. |
