What is the problem with the prediction

Reference no: EM13526716

The human genome project initially predicted 100,000 genes due to the number of proteins found through western blots. When near completion, computer analysis of the sequence predicted only 30,000 genes. Is the computer program wrong? If not, what is the problem with the prediction?
