Performance of Conrad and other gene callers on C. neoformans chromosome 9

The models are grouped by the evidence they used as input: single gene sequence, pairwise alignment, and then all available data. Predictions were compared to available EST (expressed sequence tag) evidence using a custom set of metrics designed to handle partial information from ESTs. Shown are the total number of genes and exons predicted by each model and the number of those predictions that overlapped EST evidence. Of those predictions overlapping EST evidence, the percent where the EST and gene predictions agree is shown. Also included is the total number of EST clusters that did not overlap any prediction, indicating probable missed genes.
