Method For definition of gene structure, researchers relied on the use of different gene-finding approaches: the gene-finding programs Genscan (17) and a version of Genie that uses expressed sequence tag (EST) data (18), plus the results of complementary DNA (cDNA) and protein database searches, followed by review by human annotators (19).
Comments Researchers' annotation of the Drosophila genome predicts 13,601 genes, encoding 14,113 transcripts through alternative splicing in some genes. See BNID 104993. For value of 14,332 proteins see BNID 105464 Table - link
