Predict Terminators

Is there software or an algorithm to predict the terminator region at the end of operons in a given genome? I am working on a prokaryotic genome and would like to find the coordinates of terminator regions.

Thanks.

Here is TransTermHP successor of TransTerm, if you are looking for rho-independent termination.

This is a good software package! I made a script to convert the output to GFF (why doesn't everyone include a GFF option nowadays?)

Algorithms to analyse terminators in Firmicutes are described in:

"Prediction of Transcriptional Terminators in Bacillus subtilis and Related Species"

Python script available "on request from the author."

This guy hasn't gotten back to me yet but the script looks promising
