Identification of a novel coding sequence by shotgun proteomics. Three unique peptides were identified in the genomic region 16,652,022–16,654,397 on the X chromosome. This genomic region represents a new ORF from the new GeneFinder prediction set. There are no gene models predicted in this region in WormBase WS150; however, several SAGE tags confirming this gene model have been added since WS150. A mass spectrum from the peptide SPASGSALLDLLSR is shown.
