Figure 5.

Genomic distribution of intronic RNAs. Relative chromosome sizes (blue bars) and the fractional number of GenBank Refseq genes (red bars) mapped per chromosome are shown. The distribution along the chromosomes of wholly intronic sequence contigs resulting from mapping and assembly of all ESTs in GenBank relative to the RefSeq reference dataset is shown (black bars). The distribution along the chromosomes of intronic RNAs expressed in human liver, as detected by oligoarray hybridizations, is shown as gray ears. The numbers on the y-axis refer to the fractional distribution in each chromosome.
