First, we must improve our current algorithms and recognition techniques for protein-coding genes.

Almost 40% of protein-coding genes fall into 662 families containing between two and 500 members.

Clusters were required to either overlap a known protein-coding gene or have evidence of splicing.

The human genome contains just over 20,000 protein-coding genes, far fewer than had been expected.

In principle, the approach can be applied to any mutated protein-coding gene.

Chromosome 11 open reading frame one, also known as C11orf1, is a protein-coding gene.

A few of these are expressed on the reverse sense to protein-coding genes.

Regions of the genome with protein-coding genes include several elements:

The number of protein-coding genes within the human genome remains a subject of active investigation.

The size of protein-coding genes within the human genome shows enormous variability (Table 2).
