FGENESH++
pipeline was a winner of NGASP Gene prediction competition on exon
level (see NGASP Gene prediction competition Results),
while both FGENESH and FGENESH++ had best sensitivity in most
categories. See

Independent
tests of accuracy of ORF prediction by FGENESB on metagenomic sequences
found it to be far superior to alternative methods, such as Critica and
Glimmer (Mavromatis et al., NATURE METHODS, 2007, Vol. 4 No. 6, p. 495-500), see here
for details.
