Abstract

The aim of the proposed project is to develop plant-specific gene prediction algorithms and software, for monocot and dicot plants, based on the experience gained in human gene prediction, and with particular emphasis on the newly developed machine learning method called the Support Vector Machine. The techniques developed will be used for identification of multiple genes in plant genomic sequences and for recognition of different functional signals. We will also investigate the possibility of classifying genes by function based on promoter or gene sequence.
