Abstract

        To elucidate the evolution of vertebrate genomes, it is 
    important to estimate the number of protein-coding genes in the
    genome. The numbers of protein-coding genes of mouse genome were 
    estimated by clustering full length mRNA sequences from 
    DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank and sequencing data of the expressed sequence 
    tags using by genome informatics procedure. The estimates of the 
    total number of protein-coding genes were 33,924.
