Dependence of the gene start prediction accuracy on the information content of the RBS weight matrix. The test was made with a selection of protein sequences not related to genome sequencing projects. Thus, although it is not always possible to predict gene starts precisely, it is at least possible to estimate the likeliness of erroneous delineation of the protein N-termini based on the automatically derived values of RBS stregth.
