(A–C) Examples of overlapping genes. Generic genome browser (Stein et al. 2002) snapshots taken from the WormBase Web site. Six tracks are shown, i.e., Gene Models, Operons, Trans-splice acceptor, ESTs aligned by BLAT (best), RNAs aligned by BLAT (best), and ORFeome sequence tags (best). (A) Opposite-strand nested gene pairs; (B) Piggyback gene pair; (C) Convergent overlapping gene pairs.
