<p>Today, when people assemble the genome of a species, they will also
typically annotate that genome. This task involves feeding a genome and a lot of
sequenced mRNA transcripts into a pipeline that then uses a variety of
models to predict which portions of the recently assembled genome correspond to
genes, which genes those are, and which sequences within those genes correspond
to introns, exons and coding sequences. The result of this exercise is typically
a
