Searching for Genes in Novel Genomes
Brona Brejova- Comenius University Bratislava
Tomas Vinar (Comenius University Bratislava, Applied Informatics); Daniel G. Brown (University of Waterloo, Computer Science); Ming Li (University of Waterloo, Computer Science); Yan Zhou (Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai, Shanghai-MOST Key Laboratory of Health and Disease Genomics);
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).

Improving Gene Finding Accuracy with RNA_Seq and Tiling Array Data
Jonas Behr- Max Planck Society
Gabriele Schweikert (Max Planck Society, Friedrich Miescher Laboratory);
Short Abstract: We have developed a new accurate gene finding system called mGene based on Hidden Semi Markov SVMs, that is very flexible in terms of incorporating different features. Exploiting tiling array and RNA-Seq transcriptome measurements as features in addition to the genome sequence leads to considerably improvements in prediction accuracy.

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.

A Fully Automatic AUGUSTUS Pipeline for Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Based on ESTs
Mario Stanke- Universit of Goettingen
No additional authors
Short Abstract: We are presenting an open source gene prediction pipeline that only requires a genome assembly and a set of ESTs as input. It trains AUGUSTUS fully automatically using the ESTs. The gene structure annotation is then basedon EST evidence where locally available or is performed ab initio.

mGene.web: A Web Service for Accurate Computational Gene Finding
Ratsch Gunnar- Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society
Gabriele Schweikert (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology); Jonas Behr (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology); Alexander Zien (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology); Johannes Eichner (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology); Soeren Sonnenburg (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology); Gunnar Raetsch (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Machine Learning in Biology);
Short Abstract: We provide mGene.web, a web service for genomewideprediction of protein coding genes from DNAsequences. mGene.web additionally offers the functionalityto retrain the system on a new organism.It is integrated into the Galaxy framework forgenomic data analysis, is availableat http://www.mgene.org/webservice, freeof charge, and can be used for eukaryotic genomes ofmoderate size.
