We also used the cDNA alignments to detect 'micro-exons', very short exons that are typically missed by both gene-finding programs and alignment algorithms.
A listing of these micro-exons from all chromosomes is shown in Table 4. Note that in some cases the length of the micro-exons is not a multiple of three; for these, one of the preceding or following exons had its boundary realigned to maintain the reading frame.
One indication that these micro-exons are correct (in addition to the identity with the cDNA) is that many of them are homologous to exons in other Arabidopsis genes.
Using this method, we were able to identify 11 additional micro-exons, all shorter than 12 bp.
Some of these contain very short 'micro-exons' that are usually missed by ab initio gene prediction programs.
