Number and gene structure of Interferon Lambda genes in many genomes from ensembl v49.

[a]To be consistent, this total includes genes and pseudogenes. For draft genomes, not finding all exons in a short contig due to assembly and sequencing gaps is indistinguishable from a pseudogene with some exons missing. *the noted species has one gene which needs a frameshift of 1 bp or 2 bp needed in order to stay in the “correct” reading frame. This frameshift might indicate that this is a pseudogene, or it might be a sequencing error due to the draft nature of the genome sequence.
