Score-based prediction of genomic islands in prokaryotic genomes using hidden Markov models

Stephan Waack, Oliver Keller, Roman Asper, Thomas Brodag, Carsten Damm, Wolfgang Fricke, Katharina Surovcik, Peter Meinicke, Rainer Merkl BMC Bioinformatics 2006, 7:142 (16 March 2006)

Score-based identification of genomic islands uses hidden Markov models and codon-usage bias to identify foreign genetic regions within microbial genomes and assign them to a putative donor.
