Includes bibliographical references (p. 75-77). The accurate annotation of an organism's protein-coding genes is crucial for subsequent genomic analysis. The rapid advance of sequencing technology has created a gap between genomic sequences and their annotations. Automated annotation methods are needed to bridge this gap, but existing solutions based on hidden Markov models cannot easily incorporate diverse evidence to make more accurate predictions. In this thesis, I built upon the semi-Markov conditional random field framework created by DeCaprio et al. to predict protein-coding genes in DNA sequences. Several novel extensions were designed and implemented, including a 29-state model with both semi-Markov and Markov states, an N-best Viterbi inference algorithm, several classes of discriminative feature functions that incorporate diverse evidence, and parallelization of the training and inference algorithms. The extensions were tested on the genomes of Phytophthora infestans, Culex pipiens, and Homo sapiens. The gene predictions were analyzed and the benefits of discriminative methods were explored. by Matthew K. Doherty.
