Description:

Single genes construction: single gene exons are DNA regions beginning in one start codon (ATG) and finishing in a stop codon in frame (TGA/TAG/TAA), not including any other previous stop codon in frame.

Briefing:

long BuildSingles(site *Start, long nStarts, site *Stop, long nStops, long cutPoint, exonGFF *Exon)

Every list of signals is sorted by position due to the signal prediction process. For every start codon, looking for the first stop codon in frame to build the single gene. The CutPoint value is necessary to keep the order between the set of exons predicted on one fragment and the set predicted on the next one. SINGLEGENELENGTH value checks the minimal length of a single gene. The output list of exons is sorted by Start codon position.
