How PABPC4L 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 5 kb of the gene's 5.5 kb; 1,113 of those bases code for the protein.
Sequencing PABPC4L

How hard PABPC4L is to sequence with short reads, out of 100
0 · Easy100 · Hard
Almost all of PABPC4L's exons sit where short reads map cleanly.
What adds to it: the share of PABPC4L's exons in each kind of hard region
- MappabilityStretches where 100 or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely, so a call there may be missing or wrong. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 100.0%
- HomologySegmental duplications: copies elsewhere in the genome, such as paralogues and pseudogenes, at 90% identity or more. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 60.0%
- Shared with chrYThe pseudoautosomal regions and the X-transposed region, where chrX and chrY carry the same or nearly the same sequence, so a read from one may be placed on the other. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 60.0%
- Reference coverageGaps in the reference assembly nearby, where there is no sequence for reads to align to. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 50.0%
- RepeatsTandem repeats and runs of one base, which reads slip on and may not span. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 30.5.5%
- GC contentWindows under 25% or over 65% G and C, which library preparation covers thinly. On its own, a gene wholly in this kind of region would score 20.36%
A Dante Labs score from our own research, built on NIST's Genome in a Bottle maps of hard-to-sequence regions.How it's scoredEach bar is the share of PABPC4L's exon bases in that kind of difficult region. Any one kind can make a gene hard on its own, and each further kind adds less: 0 when no base is in any, 100 when every base is where reads cannot be placed uniquely.
