Translation initiation sites prediction with mixture gaussian models

Translation initiation sites (TIS) are important signals in cDNA sequences. Many research efforts have tried to predict TIS in cDNA sequences. In this paper, we propose using mixture Gaussian models to predict TIS in cDNA sequences. Some new global measures are used to generate numerical features fr...
