News:
November 21st 2005 - A new tool, ACANA, has been tested on our simulated data and performed quite well. Please visit http://faculty.genome.duke.edu/~whuang/ACANA/ for more details.

January 2005 - Thompson ISI has selected Benchmarking tools for the alignment of functional noncoding DNA as an Essential Science Indicator (ESI) "New Hot Paper." An interview with Casey Bergman about the manuscript can be found here.

July 22nd 2004 - A parsing error was discovered which affected the results presented in the original paper for the alignment tool BlastZ. We have corrected the error and have submited a correction for the paper to BMC Bioinformatics. While the major conclusions of the original paper remain the same, the quantitative results and some of the specific conclusions for BlastZ are different. All data and figures on this website now refer to the corrected BlastZ results.
