    "Now that the age of the genome is upon us, scientists must find a way to spin mountains of DNA code into biological gold. To do it, they are building their own Rumpelstiltskins: powerful computer programs that automatically scrutinize the code and decipher its genetic elements. The April issue of Genome Research reports a new enterprise to test the state of the art in computer 'genome annotation.' Organized by a team from University of California, Berkeley, 12 international groups compared the power of their computer programs to predict gene elements within a 3 million base pair stretch of Drosophila DNA."
