Table 2.

Known genes and novel TUs on chr22 identified by our analysis compared with those annotated by the Sanger Centre

	Known genes	Novel TUs
Matches a Sanger partial or complete coding gene	404	47
Matches a Sanger noncoding gene	9	8
Matches a Sanger pseudogene	16	11
Without a Sanger equivalent	69	451
Total	498	517

The total in this table is 1015 because seven genes in our data set matched two Sanger genes each and in six of the seven cases the matched Sanger genes were not homologous to anything in our data set other than the gene that merged them.
