What do the different gene model Status lines (ie confirmed) shown on the Gene Page and in the GFF files mean?

0

confirmed_inconsistent – means that a curator has decided that the intron doesn’t fit with what we consider to be a valid transcript or there appears to be something wrong with the Transcript that confirms the intron. confirmed_est – an intron confirmed by EST transcript sequence data confirmed_cdna – an intron confirmed by cDNA/mRNA transcript sequence data confirmed_false – these are where curators have confirmed that the confirmed intron is false or artefactual. other confirmed_* types that a curator can add are: confirmed_UTR – used when a confirmed intron looks like it is in the UTR of a gene. confirmed_Homology – although I don’t think this has ever been used.
