The C. elegans del-6 gene locus, showing curated CDS structures, and the predicted full-length transcript structures. The various different types of identifier associated with the gene and its transcripts are shown. Initially, a new protein-coding gene model comprises a single CDS, and that CDS is assigned a CDS sequence identifier to match the sequence identifier of the gene to which it belongs. If there is evidence for one or more additional isoforms of a CDS at a locus, then they are distinguished by giving them letters after their name. By default, the predicted full-length transcript structure is given the same sequence identifier as the curated CDS that it extends. However, if there is evidence for alternative splicing in the 5’ or 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of the transcript, then multiple full-length transcripts sharing the same CDS are created. These transcript isoforms are distinguished by the addition of a dot and numbers after the sequence name of the CDS.
