A higher resolution view of gene Bhlhe41 taken from the Vega genome browser. RNA-Seq data from NOD has been uploaded into the browser and aligned to the GRCm38 C57BL/6J reference. This shows that the gene is clearly expressed in the NOD mouse. On closer inspection, it would appear that there may be evidence of a 3′ overlapping non-coding RNA locus supported by three mouse mRNAs from AK032333.1, AK040945.1 and AK079251.1 as illustrated by the yellow box with the blue outline. The ability to upload RNA-seq data provides a way to investigate gene expression for sequences not yet represented in the NOD Idd regions and could also prove useful in observing differential intergenerational gene expression.
