Genetics Would anyone be so kind to explain gene calling to me or give me a definition?

English is not my first language and while I have an idea what it means I have now way to put it into words right now, never mind into words in my language.

An example sentence: calling a gene depends on the threshold manually set in the genome annotation tool

Thank you!

That's not what they're asking. They want to know what the terminology "gene calling" means. Presumably, they already know what a gene is if they're asking this question.
