This track shows transcription start points as defined by the regions of CAGE (5' Cap Analysis Gene Expression) tag clusters. CAGE tags are 19-20-mers sequenced from 5' ends of full-length cDNAs produced using RIKEN full-length cDNA technology. A CAGE cluster is defined as one or more overlapping CAGE tags on the same strand, regardless of tissue of origin. The full annotation of a cluster, including tissue(s) of origin, can be obtained from the CAGE Analysis Viewer, via a link on the details page for that cluster.
The CAGE tags are sequenced from the 5' ends of full-length cDNAs produced using RIKEN full-length cDNA technology. To create the tag, a linker was attached to the 5' end of full-length cDNAs which had been selected by cap trapping. The first 20 bp of the cDNA were cleaved using the class II restriction enzyme, MmeI, followed by PCR amplification. Concatamers of the resulting 32 bp tags were then formed for more efficient sequencing. For more information on CAGE, see Shiraki et al. (2003) and Carninci et al (2005). RIKEN website for information about RIKEN full-length cDNA technologies. The mapping methodology employed in this annotation will be described in upcoming publications.
