Abstract excerpt
The prediction of gene models from genome sequence remains an unsolved problem. One hallmark of eukaryotic gene structure is the presence of introns, which are spliced out of pre-mRNAs prior to translation. The excised introns are released in the form of lariats, which must be debranched prior to their turnover. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the absence of the debranching enzyme causes these lariat RNAs...
