This directory contains a set of GenBank flat-file format entries
to be used to test and train gene-finding algorithms for Drosophila 
melanogaster.

UCSC and LBNL provide these data sets "as is" in an effort to create
a common data set to be used by all gene-finding algorithms.  We
encourage others to compare their results using these data sets.

Accompanying each data set is a ".sets" file listing 5 test/train
subsets.  These subsets can be used for cross-validation.


The data sets are:


Multiple exon genes:
	multi_exon_GB.dat.gz
	multi_exon_GB.sets


In addition, several Perl and shell routines are provided in the scripts
directory (ftp://www-hgc.lbl.gov/pub/genesets/scripts/).
