Question

The conventional determination of open reading methods identify only typical genes and tend to miss atypical genes in which the rule of codon bias is not strictly followed.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.

This question is from Gene Prediction in Prokaryotes topic in portion Gene and Promoter Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

The explanation is: These statistical methods, which are based on empirical rules, examine the statistics of a single nucleotide (either G or C). To improve the prediction accuracies, the new generation of prediction algorithms uses more sophisticated statistical models.
