MetaTISA

:: DESCRIPTION

MetaTISA is tool with an aim to improve translationa initiation sites (TISs) prediction of current gene-finders for metagenomes. The method employs a two-step strategy to predict TISs by first clustering metagenomic fragments into phylogenetic groups and then predicting TISs independently for each group in an unsupervised manner. As evaluated on experimentally verified TISs, MetaTISA greatly improves the accuracies of TIS prediction of current gene-finders.
