"+" or "-" indicates if the gene sequences have been found (+) or not been found (-)
rearranged (R),
transcribed (T) and/or translated into protein
(Pr). Arbitrarily that information is shown on the first line of each gene,
when the data have been confirmed by several studies.
Functionality is shown in parentheses, (F) and (P), when the accession
number refers to rearranged genomic DNA or cDNA and the corresponding germline
gene has not yet been isolated.
IMGT allele confirmation: A scoring system is employed to indicate the number of
IMGT/LIGM-DB reference sequences and other sequences from the literature in which an IG or TR gene
allele has been identified and annotated.
- Removed genes/alleles
- If a gene/allele existence or name has to be changed, the old name or gene/allele would be
deleted and its name won't be reused. They are kept in the gene table for historical reasons.
- A single star ()
- indicates that an IG or TR gene allele is annotated in the reference sequence only.
- Two stars ()
- indicate that an IG or TR gene allele is annotated in its reference sequence and in one sequence
from the literature.
- Three stars ()
- indicate that an IG or TR gene allele is annotated in its reference sequence and in at least two
sequences from the literature.
In the Excel file, the stars are represented by the plus symbol (+).
