Exon-level accuracy of GenomeScan as a function of protein
similarity in draft and finished sequences. GenomeScan was
run on subsets of the FinishGene and DraftGene datasets, grouped
according to the level of similarity to the nearest proteins used in
the predictions. (A) Exon-level sensitivity (percent of
annotated exons predicted exactly) is displayed with solid
squares/triangles and solid lines; overlap sensitivity (percent of
annotated exons overlapped by a predicted exon) by open
squares/triangles and dashed lines. (B) Exon-level specificity
(percent of predicted exons exactly correct) is displayed with solid
squares/triangles and solid lines. Overlap specificity (percent of
predicted exons overlapped by an annotated exon) is displayed by open
squares/triangles and broken lines. For comparison, overlap exon-level
sensitivity and specificity values for
GENSCAN + BLASTP (GENSCAN
predictions that have a BLASTP hit with P <
10−5 against the nonredundant protein database) were 0.90
and 0.48, respectively, in the FinishGene dataset and 0.87 and 0.47,
respectively, in the DraftGene dataset.
