  Description     : software tool to compute gene structure predictions

GenomeThreader is a software tool to compute gene structure predictions.
The gene structure predictions are calculated using a similarity-based
approach where additional cDNA/EST and/or protein sequences are used to
predict gene structures via spliced alignments. GenomeThreader was motivated
by disabling limitations in GeneSeqer, a popular gene prediction program
which is widely used for plant genome annotation.

The software has recently been liberated after being closed-source for a
while.
