Gene prediction programs:ORFs and CDSs

ORFs are not equivalent to CDSs

Not all open reading frames are coding sequences

Gene finding programs

• Genefinding software packages use Hidden Markov Models.

• Predict coding, intergenic and intron sequences

• Need to be trained on a specific organism.

• Never perfect!

Gene prediction programs: Problems

• ORFs are not equivalent to CDSs

• Gene prediction programs find new genes that share properties with a given set of genes.

• They can be confounded by:– Sequence constraints (ribosomal proteins etc.)

– Sequence biases

– Different sets of genes

– Horizontal gene transfer

– Non-coding DNA

Gene prediction programs: Problems

Different gene training sets: Plasmodium falciparum

CODON USAGE

• Codon bias is different for each organism.• DNA content in coding regions is restricted

– but it is not restricted in non coding regions.

• The codon usage for any particular gene can influence expression.

Codon usage

• All organisms have a preferred set of codons.

GC frame plot

• Plots the third position GC content of each frame of a DNA sequence.

• In coding DNA the GC content of the 3rd base is often higher.

• Good prediction of coding in malaria and trypanosomes.

Homology Data

• Coding regions are more conserved than non coding regions due to selective pressure.

• Comparing all possible translations against all known proteins will give clues to known genes.

• Blastx
