Library data

In this page, the statistics of the cDNA libraries and sequences contained in PRIGEN are described. Chimpanzee 5'-ESTs were annotated by comparing to human RefSeq transcripts.

Figure 1. Annotation of Chimpanzee 5'-ESTs by comparing to human RefSeq transcripts.
a. Classification by BLAST search (E = 1e-60). 12,217 5'-ESTs were homologous to human RefSeq transcripts (NM and NR) ****.
b. Numbers of annotated 5'-ESTs (RefSeq homologs). The total number of RefSeq transcripts was 6,719, including redundancy among derived organs ot tissues. In total 5,192 unique RefSeq transcripts were obtained.
c. Numbers of RefSeq homologs among the cDNA libraries (organs or tissues; see Table 1).

**** Release 98 (Jan 21, 2020). Sequences with acccession prefixes of NM (curated mRNA) or NR (curated ncRNA) were used.
