Genescript is an annotation pipeline developed at
The Centre for Applied Genomics at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto Canada.
It's main features are gene prediction, EST homology searching, and comparative homology searching.
Advanced functionality includes clustering of ESTs from dbEST, accurate EST to genomic alignments
using Sim4, and a scoring system which identifies highly probable predictions.
It is free for academic users and only uses programs which are also free for academic use.

Summary: Genescript uses a number of publicly available analysis programs to
annotate a DNA sequence. It provides an integrated display of results from
each program, and includes an evidence-based scoring system that gives
informative summaries of predicted gene models.
