Explanation

Consensus-based gene prediction programs Because different prediction programs have different levels of sensitivity and specificity, it makes sense to combine results of multiple programs based on consensus. GeneComber is a web server that combines HMMgene and GenScan prediction results. DIGIT is another consensus-based web server. It uses prediction from three ab initio programs – FGENESH, GENSCAN, and HMMgene.
