Ch, chromosome; No genes, numbers of genes; Mis intr, numbers of genes with introns not matching those predicted; New intr, numbers of new introns found; Lost intr, numbers of introns that may not exist as predicted; Size changes, numbers of introns with sizes that do not match those predicted; AS intr, numbers of introns that may be alternatively spliced. Most known genes are housekeeping genes, consistent with expression profiles.
