For each genome, ‘#Genes’ counts all genes longer than 90bp in the NCBI annotation after removing genes with frame shifts and internal stop codons. A prediction is a match iff it has the same reading frame and stop codon as a gene. Extra predictions are those that are not matches. The ‘G3 versus G2’ column is the Glimmer3 value minus the Glimmer2 value.
