## Description

This track shows genes predicted by Twinscan downloaded from FlyBase (D. pseudoobscura version 1.0). The Twinscan program predicts genes in a manner similar to Genscan, except that Twinscan takes advantage of genome comparisons to improve gene prediction accuracy. More information and a web server can be found at http://mblab.wustl.edu/.

## Display Conventions and Configuration

This track follows the display conventions for gene prediction tracks.

The track description page offers the following filter and configuration options:

- Color track by codons: Select the genomic codons option to color and label each codon in a zoomed-in display to facilitate validation and comparison of gene predictions. Click the Help on codon coloring link on the track description page for more information about this feature.

## Methods

The Twinscan algorithm is described in Korf, I. et al. 2001 in the References section below.
