Chr22 distribution of Ψg and Alu sequences in intergenic regions and introns
| Total | Intergenic | Intron | Overlapping with exons | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ψg counts | 145 | 109 | 33 | 3 (0) |
| Alu counts | 21,993 | 12,841 | 9,068 | 84 (3) |
| Length of region, kb | 32,369 | 20,611 | 11,758 | |
| Marker density, count per kb | ||||
| Ψg | 0.0045 | 0.0053 | 0.0028 | |
| Alu | 0.6794 | 0.6230 | 0.7712 | |
There are 84 Alu sequences overlapping with exons. Eleven of 84 overlap with internal exons and 73 overlap with boundary exons. There are only three Alu sequences overlapping with translated exons. Three Ψg overlap with terminal exons but no Ψg overlap with translated exons. The locations of the three overlapping pairs of gene and pseudogene are as follows: gene (novel gene): 26358694∼26379157, Ψg: 26378836∼26386771; gene (Homo sapiens cDNA): 15058600∼15105383, Ψg: (similar to H. sapiens angiotensin II receptor gene): 15103686∼15103899; and gene (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3, related to Sorsby fundus dystrophy): 16700083∼16761409, Ψg: 16758391–16758808.
