Table 1. EcoGene gene quality types.
| Quality type | No.a | Descriptionb |
|---|---|---|
| OK | 3482 | Unchanged from the gene interval in U00096, version M54 |
| FRM | 42 | A hypothetical frameshift reconstruction |
| STP | 22 | An in-frame stop codon is present |
| CORR | 19 | An experimental sequence correction of a frameshift mutation |
| ALT_INIT[number] | 706 | An alternative start codon is used (number of codons added or removed relative to GenBank U00096) |
| VERIFIED[number] | 717 | N-terminal protein sequence is known {number of amino acid residues, if any, that are removed during processing) |
| PART | 92 | Partial gene, a segment of the gene appears to be deleted |
| MUTANT | 6 | Strain MG1655 is known to have frameshift or in-frame stop codon mutations in these genes |
| EXCEPT | 5 | The gene has a translational exception, i.e., a programmed frameshift, a selenocysteine-encoding UGA codon, or an AUU start codon |
