Abstract
This work proposes a versatile tool (GENFOCS) for comparative analysis of predictions of selected gene-finders. The objective of this tool is not necessarily to find better predictions, but to provide a platform for analyzing the predictions of different gene finding tools/techniques. The tool does comparative analysis of individual predictions over the queried DNA sequence. This work significantly extended the analysis to eukaryotes and prokaryotes as well. GENFOCS uses sensitivity and specificity as measure to analyze the predictions of selected organism. This online tool generates various outputs like graphics, charts and tables.
