= Gene prediction
<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>. <Genomic annotation documentation by the National Library of Medicine>[Nucleotide sequence and genome annotation: gene prediction]{ref}
