Breakdown of supporting transcript evidence used in the paper: full-length cDNAs (FANTOM3, public), expressed sequence tags (ESTs; public ESTs, and RIKEN 5' and 3' ESTs), capped analysis of gene expression (CAGE) tags, and DiTags (gene identification signature [GIS] and Genome Sciences Centre [GSC]).
