Gene structure comparison between human and mouse.

OG Pairs Conserved in Hs and Mm (282) Human OG Pairs Adjacent in Mm (226) Mouse OG Pairs Adjacent in Hs (171) Non-Overlapping Genes

Human Mouse Human Mouse Human Mouse Human (16385) Mouse (15640)
Average Gene Length 68.5 kb 58.6 kb 49.3 kb 31.4 kb 35.5 kb 31.4 kb 55.4 kb 39.6 kb

UTR Overlap 174 200 184 - - 154 - -
CDS Overlap 108 82 42 - - 16 - -

The number of overlapping gene pairs in each analyzed dataset is reported in brackets. CDS overlaps refer to the overlapping genes whose CDS coordinates are superimposed, while UTR overlaps refer to those cases where the gene coordinates (calculated from transcript start to transcript end) are superimposed.
