Abstract
The gene identification problem is the problem of
interpreting nucleotide sequences by computer, in order to
provide tentative annotation on the location, structure, and
functional class of protein-coding genes. This problem is of
self-evident importance, and is far from being fully solved,
particularly for higher eukaryotes. Thus it is not surprising
that the number of algorithm and software developers working
in the area is rapidly increasing. The present paper is an
overview of the field, with an emphasis on eukaryotes, for such
developers.
