Testing the Coding Potential of Conserved Short Genomic Sequences

Table 3

The distribution of RefSeq coding exons contained in the regions detected by the proposed method compared with those predicted by GENSCAN and TWINSCAN according to the types of exons: initial, internal, final, and single, where single refers to exons of single exon genes.
