How IMPDH2 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 1.7 kb of the gene's 5.1 kb; 1,545 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads IMPDH2
