Gene symbols assigned by HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee

Corresponds to the cDNA nucleotide sequences extracted from the chr. 21 genomic sequence (July 2002 update)

MPIMG chr.21 database (Berlin) storing the clone sequenced map (Hattori at al. 2000) and a number of associated biological objects (e.g. genes, markers...)

Category 1: known genes corresponding to a complete mRNA (as annotated in Genbank)

Category 2: gene predictions supported by spliced ESTs but no complete mRNA

Category 3: (PRED*) gene signatures supported only by gene prediction programs (e.g GENSCAN)

Category 4: pseudogenes

Alternative (or obsolete) gene names reported in the literature

Extracted from the chr. 21 genomic sequence (July 2002)

Gene structure calculated by using the "est2genome" program output

CDS: gene coding sequence

Genes coordinates in the new release of the chr. 21 genomic sequence

Genes coordinates calculated in the first release of the chr.21 sequence (Hattori et al. 2000)
