Description:

Terminal exon construction: terminal exons are DNA regions beginning in one acceptor site (AG) and finishing in a stop codon in frame (TGA/TAG/TAA), not including any other previous stop codon in frame.

Briefing:

long BuildTerminalExons (site *Acceptor, long nAcceptors, site *Stop, long nStops, long LengthSequence, exonGFF* Exon, long cutPoint)

Every list of signals is sorted by position due to the signal prediction process. For every acceptor codon there are three possible exons to build depending on the corresponding stop in frame exists. 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. The output list of exons is sorted by Acceptor site position.
