Initial Training

The following 2 files:
genbank.coord
genbank.fasta
were used in the process of training the GlimmerM system.
 

genbank.coord has the following format:

sequence_1_name CDS
start_exon_1 end_exon_1
start_exon_2 end_exon_2
.......................
start_exon_n end_exon_n

sequence_2_name CDS complement
end_exon_m start_exon_m
.......................
end_exon_1 start_exon_1

.......................

Here the first gene is on the direct strand of the sequence 1, and has n exons, while the second gene is on the reversed strand of sequence 2, and has m exons.
 

genbank.fasta is a multifasta file with the DNA sequences containing the genes described in genbank.coord.
