TABLE COLUMNS DESCRIPTION

Here we describe what does contain each column in the previous table:

• Geneva identifier: corresponds to an alphanumeric code for each single gene set of experiments.
• Predicted gene identifier: the name of the given gene prediction as provided by the software. Both, this column and the previous one, are linked to a single browser page for each gene prediction that contains further information about it.
• Gene location: the forward coordinates along the chromosome and the corresponding gene strand.
• Length of the transcript and the number of exons.
• The selected intron number.
• Results on tissues: RT-PCR success on each of the mouse tissues tested in this experiment ("green" color meaning success and "red" color for failure). The tissues were: brain (BR), heart (HE), kidney (KI), thymus (TH), liver (LI), stomach (ST), muscle (MU), lung (LU), testis (TE), skin (SK), eye (EY) and ovary (OV).
• Three extra columns summarizing RT-PCR results:
  • SEQ CNF : RT-PCR succeeded and the sequence of the predicted gene was confirmed.
  • SEQ WRG : the PCR product that was sequenced does not correspond to the predicted one (unspecific amplification).
  • DIF SPL : the RT-PCR determined a different splice site (i.e. an extra exon within the submitted intron).
  Real Positive Genes are those, and only those, having "1" in the "SEQ CNF" column.
