gene structure derived from EST data.
B: Guinea pig lens
α-crystallin
ESTs including unspliced introns aligned to guinea pig genome
(scaffold_90) and guinea pig mRNA from GenBank for
Cryaa (

and

Note guinea pig
“scaffolds” are not yet annotated for gene structure (build 7–17–08).
Note: arrows show introns in the direction of sequence reads.
