Figure 3

The distribution of antisense transcript start regions (ATSRs). Here, we hypothesized that one or more ASPs are located in ATSRs. The pie chart shows the ATSR distribution per genomic element. The distribution was evaluated for RefSeq genes with at least three exons for which it was possible to unambiguously distinguish the first and last introns. Globally, the distribution among 2671 RefSeq genes indicated that 94.3% of 2830 RefSeq genes contain an ATSR [33]. More than 50% of the ASPs are located in exon 1, intron 1 and intron 2.
