Abstract
Summary: Performance of existing algorithms for similarity-based gene recognition in eukaryotes drops when the genomic DNA has been sequenced with errors. A modification of the spliced alignment algorithm allows for gene recognition in sequences with errors, in particular frameshifts. It tolerates up to 5% of sequencing errors without considerable drop of prediction reliability when a sufficiently close homologous protein is available (normalized evolutionary distance similarity score 50% or higher).
