  1. Table 3 shows the performance of gene-finding algorithms on ten sets of experimentally verified genes with experimentally verified translation initiation sites. The first number in each entry indicates the number of 3' ends of genes correctly identified. The second number in each entry indicates the number of 5'+3' ends (genes and their correct starts) exactly identified. Beneath these numbers are % representations for each of those values. The final row shows the performance over the entire set of organisms.
