-
↵a Gene symbol of the upstream gene. RefSeq name appears where gene symbol is N/A
-
↵b Gene symbol of the downstream gene
-
↵c The number of fusion-supporting ESTs found by our computational search
-
↵d RT–PCR validation of the existence of the wild-type upstream sequence (having the original termination point). In four of the 20 tested cases, the WT was not detected in the tissues we tested
-
↵e RT–PCR validation of the fusion transcript between genes 1 and 2. In case the expression of the fusion was confined to a specific tissue, the tissue name is mentioned in parentheses. No tissue name is mentioned in cases where the expression of the fused transcript was detected in RNAs from multiple tissues
