Classification of the 1245 Non-RefSeq transcripts. Transcripts shorter than 300 bp after masking the repetitive sequences were categorized as junk sequences. The remaining sequences were BLAST-searched against all public human cDNA sequences for the forward strand. Homologous sequences to the unannotated human cDNAs were classified as orphan transcripts for the forward strand and anti-transcript for the reverse strand. The remaining 947 clones were mapped on the human genome sequence and arranged according to the annotation from the UCSC genome browser (hg18). The transcripts that overlapped with the genic regions including UTR were classified as intronic transcripts, and the transcripts that were mapped more than 5 kb away from the genic region were classified as intergenic transcripts.
