PECAAN Z-scores differ from DNAMasters

| posted 10 Apr, 2017 14:32
Hi,

It seems that the Z-scores from PECAAN differ from the Z-scores from DNAMaster for a given gene, and for the same start sites. Any idea why? Both scores for the same gene start always seem to show the same trend, so it doesn't seem like a big issue– just a curiosity for now. Which one should be in the final annotation notes? We are going with the PECAAN ones since they are all imported into DNAMaster at once.

Best,

Nick,
I will check with Claire as to what setting he uses. then we can see if they "match". i will keep you posted.

Nick and Debbie,
DNA master bases its z-scores on the raw scores of all possible open
reading frames. PECAAN uses the open reading frames of candidates for
all GeneMark and Glimmer called genes for the z-scores. Also, PECAAN
uses double precision floating point calculations, which may cause
slightly different results.

Claire and Dex
