Because a protein-encoding gene is composed of nucleotides in triplets as codons, more effective Markov models are built in sets of three nucleotides, describing nonrandom distributions of trimers or hexamers, and so on.

Because a protein-encoding gene is composed of nucleotides in triplets as codons, more effective Markov models are built in sets of three nucleotides, describing nonrandom distributions of trimers or hexamers, and so on. Correct Answer True

The parameters of a Markov Model have to be trained using a set of sequences with known gene locations. Once the parameters of the model are established, it can be used to compute the nonrandom distributions of trimers or hexamers in a new sequence to find regions that are compatible with the statistical profiles in the learning set.
