Figure 2From: Prodigal: prokaryotic gene recognition and translation initiation site identificationIllustration of the dynamic programming connections in Prodigal. The red arrows represent gene connections, and the black arrows represent intergenic connections. (a) 5' forward to 3' forward: Gene on the forward strand. (b) 3' forward to 5' forward: Intergenic space between two forward strand genes. (c) 3' forward to 3' forward: Overlapping genes on the forward strand. (d) 3' forward to 5' reverse: Forward and reverse strand genes whose 3' ends overlap. (e) 5' reverse to 3' reverse: Intergenic space between two reverse strand genes. (f) 3' reverse to 5' reverse: Gene on the reverse strand. (g) 3' reverse to 3' reverse: Overlapping genes on the reverse strand. (h) 5' reverse to 5' forward: Intergenic space between two opposite strand genes. (i) 3' forward to 3' reverse: Intergenic space between two opposite strand genes.Back to article page
