How YY1AP1 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
- 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 2.7 kb of the gene's 29.3 kb; 2,253 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads YY1AP1
6
positions in YY1AP1 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
2 of them (33%) fall in regions short reads find hard.
- Low mappability (1 site)Regions where 100 bp or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely.
- Segmental duplications (1 site)Copies of at least 1 kb sharing at least 90% identity with another part of the genome (paralogues, pseudogenes); reads may align to the wrong copy.
A whole genome covers all 29.3 kb of YY1AP1, introns included, not only the 2.7 kb of exons.
