Abstract

Following the theory on regional and national voting, we constructed a regional voting version NN from Pedersen-Nielsen's NN for start codon prediction in nucleotide sequences. Experiments on the TIS data of vertebrate and Arabidopsis thaliana sequences showed improved performances (Matthews correlation coefficients) of 7% and 14% over the original NN.
