UCSC genome browser view of the gene locus of PRO0971. The exons (numbered bars) and introns (connecting lines) are immediately apparent when cDNAs are aligned with the genome sequence. Arrow heads in the intron lines indicate the orientation of the gene (left to right), with a CpG island (green bar, “CpG: 106”) supporting the 5′-end of the gene and transcript. Multiple coverage of the gene with individual cDNAs (accession nos. BC009485 from the MGC, AK094126 from the FLJ project, and BX647702 from the German cDNA Consortium) helps to identify putative splice variants. An example of exon skipping in the IMAGE:3623656 cDNA (BC009485) as compared with the DKFZp686P0859 cDNA (BX647702) is highlighted within the yellow circle.
