Description

The $organism Mammalian Gene Collection full ORF mRNA track shows alignments between $organism MGC mRNAs with full-length ORFs and the genome. Coding exons are displayed taller than 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTR). Connecting introns are one-pixel lines with hatch marks indicating direction of transcription.

Method

Genbank $organism MGC mRNAs identified as having full-length ORFs are aligned against the genome using the BLAT program. When a single mRNA aligns in multiple places, the alignment having the highest base identity is found. Only alignments that have a base identity level within 1% of the best are kept. Alignments must also have at least 95% base identity to be kept.

Credits

The $Organism MGC full-length mRNA track is produced at UCSC from mRNA sequence data submitted to Genbank by the Mammalian Gene Collection project.
