This paper presents a method for annotating coding and noncoding DNA regions by using variable order Markov (VOM) models. A main advantage in using VOM models is that their order may vary for different sequences, depending on the sequences’ statistics. As a result, VOM models are more flexible with respect to model parameterization and can be trained on relatively short sequences and on low-quality datasets, such as expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The paper presents a modified VOM model for…
