FEAST: Fast Empirical Algorithms Suggesting Transcripts

An integration of four algorithms: Greens, CHOWDER, ROAST and PASTA.

A custom FEAST track for the UCSC browser

Create a bookmark in your browser, pointing at the July 03 FEAST custom track.
Then, when viewing any region in the human genome via the UCSC genome browser, select that bookmark to add the FEAST predictions to your display. You'll typically need to do this just once per session.
Important: this custom track refers to the July 03 human genome freeze (hg16). Here's a preliminary May 04 FEAST custom track.

Re-analysis of gene annotations

We used FEAST to score the genomic regions defined by existing annotations from the following tracks:

The columns represent identifier, chromosome, start, end, strand, FEAST score. Coordinates refer to the July 03 freeze.

There's a list of primers that were used for amplification and sequencing of the three novel genes described in the paper.
