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

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


The files in this directory are:

	multi_exon_GB.dat.gz		GenBank format file 258 multi exon genes
	multi_exon_GB.sets		proposed cross-validation sets

For specific training we have also split the complete Genbank entries 
into various gene feature sets:

	./CDS_v105/			complete CDS
	./intron_v105/			complete introns
	./exon_v105/			complete exons

	single_exon_GB.dat.gz		GenBank format file 137 single exon genes
	single_exon_GB.sets		proposed cross-validation sets


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