GeneMarkS

GeneMarkS is a computer program used by scientists to identify genes within a DNA sequence, especially for new or uncharacterized organisms. It analyzes the DNA to find regions that code for proteins by recognizing patterns and signals typical of genes. Using advanced algorithms, GeneMarkS can predict where genes start and end, even if there’s little prior information. This helps researchers understand an organism's genetic makeup, discover new genes, and study how genetic information functions. It’s a valuable tool for genomic research, biotechnology, and understanding biological processes at the molecular level.
