The Gene Sweepstake will run between 2000 and 2003.
Bets are for one number.
A gene is a set of connected transcripts. Two transcripts are connected if they share at least part of one exon in the genomic coordinates. Assessment of the method used to determine the gene will occur by voting at Cold Spring Harbor Genome Meeting 2002. Researchers will be invited to submit their methods to the community at this time. One bet per person, per year.
