摘要
We developed a new evolutionary method for identifying exons from genomic sequences and found 19 000 potential coding exons that are absent from all existing annotations of the human genome. Of these, 13 700 satisfied very stringent criteria and can with confidence be considered as novel exons. Evidently, a large number of new human genes can be identified using evolutionary approaches.
