Accession codes

Accessions

EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ

Data deposits

The sequence and preliminary analysis of clones and PCR products were made available immediately after completion through the MATDB database12. The results of computational analyses, including the functional and structural characterization of the protein sequences involved, are available at the PEDANT-pro genome analysis server (http://pedant.mips.biochem.mpg.de). Underlying recombinant clones can be obtained from the NASC (http://www.nasc.ac.uk/). The accession numbers for chromosome 4 are: short arm, AJ270058; long arm, AJ270060.
