[i] We tested 347 multiple-exon genes on Chromosome 22 for exon-skipping events using J_explorer and EST sequences from GenBank 119. Genes in which novel exon skipping events have been identified are ordered according to their relative physical organization along chromosome 22. Genes are identified using the HUGO name if one exists. In the absence of a HUGO identifier, the accession number of the sequence or the Sanger Centre clone name is used. Exon numbering is based on the exon structure of the original EMBL entries obtained from the Sanger Centre. ESTs confirming a skip were required to span both the 3′ and 5′ flanks of the skipped exon. To calculate the average number of ESTs confirming the reference isoform, the exon flanking ESTs in the reference isoform were totalled and the sum divided by corresponding averaged number of junctions. In cases where the reference isoform was not represented in the public EST databases, the sequence was confirmed using a corresponding experimentally-determined mRNA.  Skip location and context is denoted as follows: (C) skip occurs in protein coding region; (+) ORF remains unchanged; (3′) skip occurs in 3′ UTR; (5′) skip occurs in 5′UTR; (f/s) frameshift is introduced by skip; (5′t) alternative start codon is used; (3′t) alternative stop codon is used; (N/A) not possible to reconstruct a protein; (†) genes (eight entries total) with an already-annotated exon skip in EMBL entries; (‡) (six entries total) with experimentally-confirmed notation: 2–4 indicates that exons 2, 3 and 4 skipped exons; 2–3 +5 indicates that exons 2, 3 and 5 are skipped. Experimentally confirmed skipping events in the genes CACNA1I, BZRP, MTMR3, andSEP3 had no EST matches and are not included.
