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.
