Potential novel genes identified in other organisms by Tiling Assembly

Species	Ch	GS (Mb)	No. of genes	No. of novel genes	% Annot. genes
O. sativa	12	381	55,986	767	1.37
A. thaliana	5	125	25,498	218	0.85
S. cerevisiae	16	12	6,603	458	6.94
C. elegans	6	97	47,060	126	0.27
D. melanogaster	4	120	17,294	361	2.09

RNA-seq data downloaded from the SRA were used to investigate the ability of Tiling Assembly to find unannotated genes in additional model organisms. For each of the organisms, the same criteria were used for identifying potential novel genes as those used for rice.

Ch: number of chromosomes; GS: genome size; Annot. genes: annotated genes.
