Description

Gene predictions from Ensembl based on ESTs.

Methods

ESTs were mapped onto the genome using a combination of Exonerate, Blast and Est_Genome, with a threshold defined as an overall percentage identity of 90% and at least one exon having a percentage identity of 97% or higher. The results were processed by merging the redundant ESTs and setting splice sites to the most common ends, resulting in alternative spliced forms. This evidence was processed by Genomewise, which finds the longest ORF and assigns 5' and 3' UTRs.

Track Configuration

This track has an optional codon coloring feature that allows users to quickly validate and compare gene predictions. To display codon colors, select the genomic codons option from the Color track by codons pull-down menu at the top of the track description page. This page is accessed via the small button to the left of the track's graphical display or through the link on the track's control menu. Click here for more information about this feature.

After you have made your configuration selections, click the Submit button to return to the tracks display page.
