Gene prediction Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
Gene prediction infers candidate genes and their boundaries from genomic sequence and supporting data. Models can recognize coding patterns and splice signals, while transcript and comparative evidence help constrain possible structures. Predictions can miss short genes, confuse duplicated regions or propose unsupported splice forms. Experimental transcript evidence can improve a gene model, but observation of a transcript does not alone establish that it produces a functional protein. [ref]
