Data sets

Synthetic data:
G. simplicans data from chapter 5:

NOTE TO INSTRUCTORS:  You can generate your own synthetic data using this script.  It will generate separate training and test sets using the same codon frequencies, signal weight matrices, and GC% (these biases are randomly generate anew at each run of the program).  Exon, intron, and intergenic length distributions will be similar to those for the data sets used in the book (G. simplicans, above).


Real data:
FASTA and GFF files from various organisms (human, mouse, mosquito, rice, and others) can be found here
