Abundant novel transcriptional units and unconventional gene pairs on human chromosome 22

Table 2.

Known genes and novel TUs on chr22 identified by our analysis compared with those annotated by the Sanger Centre




Known genes

Novel TUs
Matches a Sanger partial or complete coding gene 404 47
Matches a Sanger noncoding gene 9 8
Matches a Sanger pseudogene 16 11
Without a Sanger equivalent 69 451
Total
498
517
  • The total in this table is 1015 because seven genes in our data set matched two Sanger genes each and in six of the seven cases the matched Sanger genes were not homologous to anything in our data set other than the gene that merged them.
