N-SCAN PASA-EST (nscan_pasa) Track Description
 

Description

This track shows gene predictions using the N-SCAN gene structure prediction program with multiple Drosophila species as informant.

Methods

N-SCAN

N-SCAN combines biological-signal modeling in the target genome sequence along with information from a multiple-genome alignment to generate de novo gene predictions. It extends the TWINSCAN target-informant genome pair to allow for an arbitrary number of informant sequences as well as richer models of sequence evolution. N-SCAN models the phylogenetic relationships between the aligned genome sequences, context-dependent substitution rates, insertions, and deletions.

N-SCAN PASA-EST

N-SCAN PASA-EST combines EST alignments into N-SCAN. Similar to the conservation sequence models in TWINSCAN, separate probability models are developed for EST alignments to genomic sequence in exons, introns, splice sites and UTRs, reflecting the EST alignment patterns in these regions. N-SCAN PASA-EST is more accurate than N-SCAN while retaining the ability to discover novel genes to which no ESTs align.

In N-SCAN PASA-EST, the TransDecoder gene predictions are used as 'EST' sequences in N-SCAN PASA-EST. The resulting gene models were updated with the input PASA clusters using the assembly tool of the PASA pipeline. These updates consist of automatically generated alternative splices, UTR features and sometimes merging of two gene models. In addition, PASA assigned open reading frames to clusters that did not overlap a gene prediction, but that did contain a full length cDNA, and output them as 'novel genes'. Note that PASA does not use any cDNA annotation from input but assigns the ORF itself.
