Annotated CDSs are drawn in the six reading frames of the sequence by (i) a dark blue rectangle for ‘Common’ annotation, (ii) a red rectangle for ‘Unique_AMIGene’ annotation, (iii) a pink rectangle for ‘No_Status’ AMIGene annotation, (iv) a white rectangle for ‘Unique_User’ annotation and (v) a green rectangle for ‘No_Status’ databank annotation. Annotated CDSs are drawn using the start codon position given in the input databank file; this sometimes leads to a shorter rectangle compared with the length of the corresponding prediction curve (i.e. the CDS in the middle of these maps). As shown in the ‘AMIGene_Start’ column (see complete results available at ), the original position is erroneous in this case. () MICheck results obtained using the original databank file as input (GenBank file format) and () MICheck results obtained using the corresponding RefSeq record as input.
