Annotation Fields in the FANTOM2 Database, Their Corresponding Title in the CAS, and a Description of the Information They Carry

Qualifier Displayed title Description
gene_name Curated gene name FANTOM gene name, which shows the function of protein products or the status of mRNA and is described in a sentence
gene_symbol Curated gene symbol gene symbol, if available, which shows the function in the several letters
synonym Synonym synonyms, if available
match_status1 Match Status 1 flags indicating whether a sequence represents a complete or partial gene, or a problem with the clone exists
match_status2 Match Status 2 flags for possible splice variants, and antisense transcripts
match_status3 Match Status 3 flags for possible frame shifts, unspliced introns, and chimeric sequences
cds_start CDS start CDS start position within the clone, in bp
cds_stop CDS stop CDS stop position within the clone, in bp
cds_status1 CDS status 1 flags for clones which may represent 5′UTR, 3′UTR, non-coding RNAs, or other artifacts
cds_status2 CDS status 2 flags for possible reverse complemented, 5′-truncated, or 3′-truncated sequences
cds_status3 CDS status 3 flags for possible frame shifts, immature transcripts or unexpected stop codon
cds_note CDS Note curator's note about the CDS
utr UTR curator's comment about UTR
expression_note Expression Note curator's comment about expression profile
antisense_hit Antisense Hit FANTOM gene names derived from a matched entry on the reverse complement strand
note Note curator's general comments
