ESTscan

  • Genomics
  • Software tool
ESTScan can detect coding regions (CDS) in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. It also detects/corrects sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. The program may miss a few translated amino acids at termini, but detects coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity.
