GENCODE PCR-Seq Batch M1
As part of the ENCODE consortium the GENCODE project is producing a reference gene set through manual and automated gene prediction. Selected transcript models are verified experimentally by RT-PCR amplification of at least one of their unique splice junctions followed by high-throughput sequencing. The experiment targets are manually annotated transcripts with novel or putative status, non-pseudogene biotype and unique splice junctions which have not been validated previously and are not supported by mouse RNAseq data from the ENCODE project. In Batch M1, which is the first GENCODE validation experiment in mouse, 3148 splice junctions from GENCODE version M2 (released in December 2013) were chosen for experimental verification.
