The order indicates the flowchart of filtering through the different databases. Enrichment sites were first compared to the RefSeq database. Sites that are not near exons were then divided into two categories: locations that are in RefSeq introns; and locations that are not in a RefSeq gene. The latter are then compared with knownGene and predicted gene databases. For both RNA polymerase II phosphorylation states, the large majority of sites are near an exon.
