  • According to the criterion of Fickett and Hatzigeorgiou (1997), a known gene is counted as a TP prediction if in the region [-200,+100] relative to the real TSS there were predicted TSSs. All other predictions falling into the region [+101, EndOfGene] relative to the real TSS for the known gene are counted as FP predictions
