  1. Functional descriptions are from the version of the TAIR Web site. Columns labelled GA and GP indicate which gene models (using TAIR suffixes) correspond to the Gene Absent and Gene Present variations, respectively. ESTs GA and ESTs GP contain the number of spliced ESTs supporting the GA or GP splicing pattern. AS type refers the type of alternative splicing involved in the AS event. RI means retained intron; AS means alternative acceptor site (3-prime boundary of an intron); DS means alternative donor site (5-prime boundary of an intron); ES means exon skipping. The column titled Size DR gives the size of the Difference Region and whether it changes protein-coding sequence (P) or untranslated (U) region of the gene models. The last column (titled % MF) gives the percentage of overlapping ESTs (ESTs GA and ESTs GP) that support the less commonly observed (minor) form.
