  • The first five columns exhibit relatively small differences with respect to basic gene characteristics. Interestingly, all gene finders predict many genes which are new, i.e., that show no overlap with a coding sequence from WS180; additionally, many new genes are unique to the given gene finder, i.e., they do not overlap with any other prediction. We further report the number of missed genes, i.e., annotated coding sequences that have no predicted counterpart, and among those, the fully EST/cDNA confirmed ones.
