Additional file 1: of Revisiting avian â missingâ genes from de novo assembled transcripts

Description of RNA-Seq data sets, recovered missing genes, mapping, expression related data. Table S1. Overview of RNA-Seq data used in this study. Table S2. List of missing genes investigated in this study. All genes were from Zhang et al. [3] and Lovell et al. [4]. Table S3. Missing genes recovered by analysis of five bird transcriptomes. Table S3A. lists the evidence supporting the presence of missing genes as described both in Zhang et al. [3] and Lovell et al. [4]; Table S3B. list the genes which have not been recovered and appear to be truly absent from the avian genome. Table S4. Mapping information of recovered missing genes in the bird genomes and homologs in SWISS-prot. Table S5. Missing gene tBLASTn against the bird genomes. Results of human homologous protein sequences blasted against the 5 bird genomes. Table S6. GC-content of high-confidence genes in five birds. Table S7. Co-linear analysis of presumed missing blocks in chicken and other animals. Table S8. Tissue-specific expression index of high-confidence genes. Table S9. The number of related studies of 446 high confidence genes in PubMed. Searchers were carried out using official gene symbols. Table S10. List of 34 new annotated missing genes in the chicken genome (Galgal5). We used the missing gene list to search the new annotation from the Galgal5 reference compared with Galgal4 reference.
