Abstract: | MOTIVATION: At the core of most protein gene-finding algorithms are the
coding measures used to make a decision on coding/non-coding. Of the
protein coding measures, the Fourier measure is one of the most important.
However, due to the limited length of the windows usually used, the
accuracy of the measure is not satisfactory. This paper is devoted to
improving the accuracy by lengthening the sequence to amplify the
periodicity of 3 in the coding regions. RESULTS: A new algorithm is
presented called the lengthen-shuffle Fourier transform algorithm. For the
same window length, the percentage accuracy of the new algorithm is 6-7%
higher than that of the ordinary Fourier transform algorithm. The resulting
percentage accuracy (average of specificity and sensitivity) of the new
measure is 84.9% for the window length 162 bp. AVAILABILITY: The program is
available on request fromC.- T. Zhang. Contact: ctzhang@tju.edu.cn
