Abstract
AbstractGenome annotations reveal vast amount information, as well as genome related features. We looked at the genome related features of eukaryotes, grouped as primates, rodents, birds, fishes, insects, and plants. Features related to introns and exons reveal distinct assets. Genes’ mean lengths are positively correlated with the collective data of counts of exons in coding transcripts and both the mean lengths and counts of introns in coding transcripts. Mean lengths of introns in non-coding transcripts are also positively correlated and correlations with the counts-data are excluding the data of plants and fishes. These are valid for the median lengths as well. In addition, certain feature comparisons reveal separation of primates, rodents, birds, fishes, insects, and plants. We also observed pareto fronts in the cumulative data with the max length values of genes and introns in coding transcripts, as well as introns in coding and non-coding transcripts.
