- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Stretches short reads find hard
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 4.9 kb of the gene's 14.6 kb; 900 of those bases code for the protein.
Sequencing SPRY4
3Easy
How hard SPRY4 is to sequence with short reads, out of 100
0 · Easy100 · Hard
Almost all of SPRY4's exons sit where short reads map cleanly.
What adds to it: the share of SPRY4'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. Weight 35%.0%
- HomologySegmental duplications: copies elsewhere in the genome, such as paralogues and pseudogenes, at 90% identity or more. Weight 30%.0%
- RepeatsTandem repeats and runs of one base, which reads slip on and may not span. Weight 15%.6.2%
- GC contentWindows under 25% or over 65% G and C, which library preparation covers thinly. Weight 10%.18%
- Reference coverageGaps in the reference assembly nearby, where there is no sequence for reads to align to. Weight 10%.0%
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 SPRY4's exon bases in that kind of difficult region. The score weighs them by how much each costs a short-read call: 0 when no base is in any, 100 when every base is in all of them.
