[i] (HSP) High-scoring segment pair, representing exons. AverageBLAST score was obtained by dividing the totalBLAST score by the total length of the HSPs involved, represented as per 100 base pair HSP. Overall sequence identity was similarly averaged by the total length of HSP involved.

[ii] (Overlap) HSPs overlap by ± 2 base pairs on either side between the HSPs of HINT and EG.

[iii] (Extended) HSPs from one index were longer than the other one.

[iv] (Truncated) HSPs from one index were shorter than the other one. In both cases, the positions of two HSPs agreed on either 5′ or 3′ side of their HSPs within ± 2 base pairs.

[v] (Overhanging) both the 5′ and 3′ positions of the two HSPs disagreed (> ± 2 base pairs).

[vi] (kb) Kilobase pairs.
