Spliced ESTs for one 7E gene and alignment of predicted amino acid sequences. The 7E gene from chromosome 7 (7.103939143OR7E38P) matches six ESTs with 98.5 to 99.9% nucleotide identity. These ESTs exhibit 5′ splicing and demonstrate five splice forms for this gene. The positions of the matches to the genomic sequence are indicated by black bars. Turquoise bars show the position of the predicted ORF for each EST. The corresponding predicted amino acid sequences are shown in alignment below. Splice junctions marked by an “*” have the canonical sequence AG…GT.
