人类21号和22号染色体(主要是cl臂)是人类基因组的第一个完整部分。我们对这些染色体上的基因、假基因(psig)和Alu重复序列的分析发现:含有非翻译外显子的基因结构的数量超过25%,末端外显子往往是外显子中最大的,而起始内含子往往是内含子中最大的,单外显子基因长度约为平均基因外显子数乘以平均内部外显子长度;处理后的psig长度平均与单外显子基因长度大致相同; G+C含量与基因长度不相关。基因,psig,和Alu序列和G+C变异的计数和分布进行了评估相对于集群和过度分散。其他评估涉及比较基因间长度,psig序列的属性,以及Alu和psig序列之间的相关性。
Human chromosomes 21 and 22 (mainly the cl-arms) were the first complete parts of the human genome released. Our analysis of genes, pseudogenes (psig), and Alu repeats across these chromosomes include the following findings: The number of gene structures containing untranslated exons exceeds 25%; the terminal exon tends to be the largest among exons, whereas, the initial intron tends to be the largest among introns; single-exon gene length is approximately the mean gene exon number times the mean internal exon length; processed psig lengths are on average approximately the same as single-exon gene length; and the G+C content and length of genes are uncorrelated. The counts and distribution of genes, psig, and Alu sequences and G+C variation are evaluated with respect to clusters and overdispersions. Other assessments concern comparisons of intergenic lengths, properties of psig sequences, and correlations between Alu and psig sequences.
