List of VR and OR genes that have introns within
the annotated coding sequence.
Not exact matches
OR and V1R genes typically have
coding regions that span a single exon, but we identified 54 OR and 15 V1R genes where at least one of the reconstructed transcripts has an intron within the protein
coding sequence (as
annotated in Ensembl).
Accordingly most only have their protein
coding sequences annotated in genomes.
While whole genome
sequencing studies have failed to identify
coding mutations in 40 % of the cases, there is evidence from recent efforts to
annotate the non-
coding sequence that over 80 % of the genome is biochemically active.
