Correlation of Predicted nonCpG-island Promoter Regions with Gene Annotation on Human Chromosome 22

PromoterInspector regions not correlated with CpG Islands 85 (100%)
Gene group # abs. rel. O
All genes 545 10 11.8% 2.0
Known genes 247 5 5.9% 2.6
Related genes 150 1 1.1% 1.0
Predicted genes 148 4 4.7% 2.2
Pseudo genes 134 4 4.7% 0.8
Additional predictions 71 83.5%
  • (#) Number of annotated genes.

  • (abs) Absolute number of predicted promoter regions that were found near annotated genes.

  • (rel) Percentage of predicted promoter regions that were found near annotated genes.

  • (O) X-fold overrepresentation, i.e., number of predicted promoter predictions that were found near annotated genes divided by the number that would be expected to be located near these genes if the same number of positions were distributed randomly across the chromosome.

  • Due to a small number of double scoring regions (a region is scored twice if it is supported by genes from different gene groups), the total number of annotation-supported regions is not equal to the sum over the number of gene group-related annotation-supported promoter regions.
