comparative gene prediction
4. GENE PREDICTION  IS (EVEN MORE) SEPARATED FROM
SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
This approach  does not require the comparison of two  homologous genomic
sequencs. Rather, a query sequence from a target  genome is compared against
a collection of sequence from a second (informant, reference) genome and the
results of the comparison are used to modify the scores of the exons produced
by underlying ``ab initio'' gene prediction algorithms.
