^aGenes with asterisks are proposed to be nonfunctional pseudogenes either because the length of the open reading frame differs significantly from that of the closest gene in the data bank or because the region of homology to the closest gene in the data bank is interrupted by a stop codon or an insertion of unrelated DNA. 

^bBases 7178 to 7830. 

^cBases 7883 to 7981.
