↵a Predicted genes (G), numbered as in Figures 1 and 3.
↵b Other than the highly conserved transposase gene, At3g42170, transposons, retroelements, pseudogenes, or hypothetical genes with sequence similarity to transposons (such as putative transposases, Ulp1 proteases, or replication protein A1; http://www.arabidopsis.org) are not included.
↵c In cases in which a full-length cDNA has not been identified, evidence of A. thaliana gene expression is noted as ESTs (expressed sequence tags), significant (P < 0.06) hybridization detected on a microarray (ma; https://www.genevestigator.ethz.ch/; http://www.arabidopsis.org), or sequences detected by massively parallel signature sequencing (mpss; http://mpss.udel.edu/at/); signatures that match multiple loci were not included.
↵d Genes included on the Affymetrix 22K array.
↵e Inconsistent intron/exon boundaries were found between species and reflect errors in the A. thaliana annotation. (—) Genes absent from BAC.
