^a Three possible starts in 2 reading frames.; gene is out of frame, so add or subtract 1 repeat to have an in-frame start.

^b Four possible starts in 2 reading frames; gene is in frame.

^c Two possible starts in 2 reading frames; gene is in frame.

^d Three possible starts in 2 reading frames; gene is out of frame.
