Selection and Exon Structure of Genes for Study

Number of multiple-exon genes selected for study347
Number of exons3240
Number of exon junctions2893
Mean exon length254 bp

Maximum exon length observed7660 bp
Maximum number of exons observed in one gene54

[i] We selected 347 multiple-exon genes of a total 545 genes present on chromosome 22 for study. Those removed included 134 single-exon genes and 64 double-exon genes that could not be assessed for exon skipping.
