Observed chimeric partner interactions.

C.IG, CDS, 5′UTR, 3′UTR and INTRON interactions, 1876 in total.Chimeric fusions have been classified as interactions between sequence classes 5′UTR, 3′UTR, EXON, GENE, IG, and INTRON. For instance, in subtable C, there are 33 IG - 5′UTR interactions, meaning that there are 33 chimeric ESTs with an interaction between an intergenic region and a gene; furthermore, the fusion point is located in the 5′UTR region of the gene partner. The GENE class corresponds to cases where no UTR or CDS information exists for the Ensembl gene in question, or the gene had several transcripts that prevented unabmiguous classification of the fusion point. The TOTAL column indicates the total number of times a given class participates in an interaction.
