Prediction of human cDNA from its homologous mouse full-length cDNA and human shotgun database

FEBS Lett. 1999 Dec 31;464(3):129-32. doi: 10.1016/s0014-5793(99)01696-8.

Abstract

We propose a prediction method for human full-length cDNA by comparing sequence data between human genome shotgun sequence and mouse full-length cDNA. The human genome which is homologous to the mouse full-length cDNA is selected by a homology search program, and the predicted exons are connected at the exon-intron junction which gives the best homology score to the mouse full-length cDNA. The accuracy of the predicted human full-length coding region is 83.3%, and the false positive rate is 16.7%. Five human full-length proteins out of 20 proteins are correctly predicted.
