GENCODE PCR-Seq Batch XV
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 RNAseq data from the ENCODE and GTEx projects. For Batch XV 1243 splice junctions from GENCODE19 (released in December 2013) were chosen for experimental verification.
