What does the DT. or DoTS transcript description represent?
For a DoTS transcript, the description of its best (BLASTX) similarity against a NRDB protein is used as its automatic description. NRDB is the Non Redundant protein Database maintained by NCBI. The description reflects the extent of the similarity with respect to the length of the NRDB protein. For example, 100% identity to 100% of Frizzled 2 precursor, or 95% identity to 30% of Frizzled 2 precursor. If the DoTS transcript did not have a protein similarity with a pvalue lower than 1 x 10-5, the description No NR protein Similarities was automatically assigned. For DoTS transcripts that have been manually reviewed, the description has been modified to reflect the transcript. For example, Mus musculus frizzled homolog 2 (Drosophila) mRNA.
