Figure 1.
The extension of human transcript consensus sequences after the assembly of UNIGENE clusters. The lengths of transcript consensus were compared for each UNIGENE cluster before and after the sequence assembly (log–log scale). The (x-axis) Sequence length for the original UNIGENE transcripts; (y-axis) sequence length for the assembled HINT consensus. Almost none of the anonymous UNIGENE EST entries is longer than 1000 bp (above the limit at regular single sequencing reads), while most of the known genes in the original UNIGENE consensus are longer than 1000 bp.
