Gene or accession: CG1211
Gene annotation error
Gene CG1211 should be split.
Comments: Dear curators,
Would any of you be willing to entertain the possibility that CG1211 is
actually two genes joined in the annotation ? It is clearly a duplicated
region, and there seem to be two possibilities: either the duplication
resulted in a polypeptide with tandem domains, or the duplicated/diverged
copies have been annotated into a single gene. There doesn't seem to be any
definitive cDNA evidence.
I must admit that I haven't yet tried to use Apollo to figure this one out. Is
it possible to make two good genes with two good ORFs ? I would guess that the
methionine at position 354 in NP_612083 might be the beginning of the second
ORF.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Ken
