Full-length reconstruction of splice variant. Shown here is the graphic output of TAP that illustrates the reconstruction results for NM_000382 (ALDH3A2, aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A2). The known gene structure based on the RefSeq sequence is shown at the first level. Two GenBank mRNA sequences, AK025677 and AK000658, that exhibit alternative splice patterns are shown below the known gene structure. The gene structures labeled as ALT+# are hypothetical full-length gene structures, each combining an EST-inferred alternative splice pattern (green) with the known gene structure (yellow). Arrows indicate patterns of alternative splicing. Note that the alternative splice pattern in AK000658 was also identified in dbEST as ALT+4. In addition, the complete gene structure of AK000658 is accurately reconstructed.
