Is a dicistronic gene

Coding sequences are delineated by green vertical lines (starts of translation) and red vertical lines (stops of translation). Dicistronic genes (dark blue) were predicted when assembled cDNA sequencing reads or complete cDNA sequence (light and dark green) span two complete open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2, shaded in cyan panel) that are separated by in-frame stop codons. There must be additional evidence supporting the existence of both predicted peptides. In the case of on chromosome arm 3R, each of the two ORFs shares homology with proteins from other eukaryotes (orange) or (red).
