Bioinformatics: Sophisticated ORF prediction with GenMark

Orf prediction programs are a key to locate ORFs (Open Reading Frames), and if we locate ORFs we have an approximative idea of the location of your gene that is coding for a protein.

To read about ORFs or Open Reading Frames click HERE.

In the how to work with ORF finder program to predict ORFs video tutorial, i've showed you how to use ORF Finder program developed by NCBI to locate ORFs, but i've said that this software is very basic, so we can use it only with simple genomes (Viral, Bacterial...etc), bacause these kind of programs can identify only about 80 percent of Protein Coding regions that you may be interested in.

You can see ORF Finder video tutorial HERE.

In this video tutorial i'm going to show you a more sophisticated approach that can predict ORF of (Bacteria, Viruses, Eucaryotes...etc), this software is a familly of different programs that use a very sophisticated method.
