The program developed by Salamov A and Solovyev V. It locates potential splice site positions based on 5 weight matrices for donor sites and a model including dinucleotide composition and weight matrixfor acceptor splice site. Program includes prediction of potential GC -donor sites and non-standard splice sites as AT-AC
Program does not EXCLUDE splice sites close to sites predicted with higher scores or sites on different chains. User could make processing based on the reported scores. It designed to be useful to analyze ALTERNATIVE Splice variants and NON-CANONICAL splice sites. Program has much higher number of overpredicted sites comparing with SPL program.

Threshold values are from 1 to 100.
For example, value 30 means that threshold set
on the level which detects 30% of highest scoring sites
from the database of all known splice sites.
Score 20 means that this site has score better than bottom 20% of score-ordered known sites.
