No. of exons identified | 66 |
Average length (bp) | 766 |
Average length of retained intron (bp) | 115 |
Average number of supporting ESTs | 1.1 |
Average sequence identity with the counterpart (%) | 86 |
No. of initial exons1 | 17 |

The retained introns connect 1 the first and the second (or 2 the last and the second last) coding exons of the original transcripts. 3 The retained introns connect the exons of originally two-exon transcripts to make single-exon transcripts.
