GeneSplicer : A computational method for splice site prediction

Overview

A fast, flexible system for detecting splice sites in the genomic DNA of various eukaryotes. The system has been trained and tested successfully on Plasmodium falciparum (malaria), Arabidopsis thaliana, human, Drosophila, and rice . Training data sets for human and Arabidopsis thaliana are included. Use the GeneSplicer Web Interface  to run GeneSplicer directly, or see below for instructions on downloading the complete system including source code . 

System requirements

GeneSplicer is released as source code and was tested on Linux RedHat 6.x+, Sun Solaris, and Alpha OSF1, but should work on any Unix system.

Obtaining GeneSplicer

This software is  OSI Certified Open Source Software .

To download the complete GeneSplicer system, just click here .

After downloading, uncompress the distribution file by typing:

% tar -xzf GeneSplicer.tar.gz

A directory named 'GeneSplicer/' will be created which contains the executable, training data sets, and other supporting files.

Training data sets are available here.
