The accuracy of the gene prediction tools as a function of the similarity to the chosen homolog. For each P-value cutoff, the homolog with the lowest P value above the cutoff was chosen to build the gene prediction models. The table indicates the different ranges considered, the log-average of the P values in each range, and the number of sequences with acceptable homologs in the range. For example, there were 99 sequences in h178 for which after discarding all hits with P value < 10−120, the top remaining hit had a P value < 10−80. There were 73 sequences for which the top hit had a Pvalue < 10−120, and 119 sequences for which the top hit had a P value > 10−5.
