 <H2>Description</H2>
 <P>
 The Gencode Gene track shows high-quality manual annotations in the
 ENCODE regions generated by the
 <A HREF="http://genome.imim.es/gencode/" TARGET=_blank>GENCODE project</A>.
 A companion track, Gencode Introns, shows experimental gene structure 
 validations for these annotations.</P>
 <P>
 The gene annotations are colored based on the Havana annotation type.
 Known and validated transcripts 
 are colored <em>dark green</em>,
 putative and unconfirmed are <em>light green</em>,
 pseudogenes are <em>blue</em>,
 and artifacts are <em>grey</em>.  
 The transcript types are defined in more detail in the accompanying table.
 <P>
 The Gencode project recommends that the annotations
 with known and validated transcripts; i.e., the types <em>Known</em>, 
 <em>Novel_CDS</em>, <em>Novel_transcript_gencode_conf</em>, and 
 <em>Putative_gencode_conf</em> (which are colored dark green in the track display) 
 be used as the reference annotation.

 <H2>Methods</H2>
 <P>
 The Human and Vertebrate Analysis and Annotation manual curation process 
-(<A HREF="http://www.sanger.ac.uk/HGP/havana/" TARGET=_blank>HAVANA</A>) was
+(<A HREF="https://www.sanger.ac.uk/HGP/havana/" TARGET=_blank>HAVANA</A>) was
 used to produce these annotations.
 <P>
 Finished genomic sequence was analyzed on a clone-by-clone basis using a
 combination of similarity searches against DNA and protein databases, as
 well as a series of <em>ab initio</em> gene predictions. Nucleotide sequence 
 databases were searched with WUBLASTN and significant hits were realigned
 to the unmasked genomic sequence by EST2GENOME. WUBLASTX was used to search 
 the Uniprot protein database, and the accession numbers of significant hits 
 were retrieved from the Pfam database. Hidden Markov models for Pfam protein 
 domains were aligned against the genomic sequence using Genewise to provide
 annotation of protein domains. 
 <P>
 A number of <em>ab initio</em>
 prediction algorithms were also run: Genscan and Fgenesh for genes, tRNAscan 
 to find tRNA genes, and Eponine TSS for transcription start site predictions.
 <P>
 The annotators used the (AceDB-based) Otterlace interface to create and
 edit gene objects, which were then stored in a local database named 
 <em>Otter</em>. In cases where predicted transcript structures from Ensembl 
 are available, these can be viewed from within the Otterlace interface and 
 may be used as starting templates for gene curation. Annotation in the Otter 
 database is submitted to the EMBL/Genbank/DDBJ nucleotide database.</P>
 
 <H2>Verification</H2>
 <P>
 The gene objects selected for verification came from various
 computational prediction methods and HAVANA annotations. 
 <P>RT-PCR and RACE experiments were performed on them, using a variety of human
 tissues, to confirm their structure. Human cDNAs from 24 different
 tissues (brain, heart, kidney, spleen, liver, colon, small intestine,
 muscle, lung, stomach, testis, placenta, skin, peripheral blood
 leucocytes, bone marrow, fetal brain, fetal liver, fetal kidney, fetal
 heart, fetal lung, thymus, pancreas, mammary gland, prostate) were
 synthesized using 12 poly(A)+ RNAs from Origene, eight from Clemente
 Associates/Quantum Magnetics and four from BD Biosciences as described in
 [Reymond <em>et al.</em>, 2002a,b]. The relative amount of each cDNA was 
 normalized by quantitative PCR using SyberGreen as intercalator and an 
 ABI Prism 7700 Sequence Detection System.</P>
 <P>
 Predictions of human genes junctions were assayed experimentally by
 RT-PCR as previously described and modified [Reymond, 2002b;
 Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2002; Guigo, 2003]. 
 <P>
 Similar amounts of <em>Homo
 sapiens</em> cDNAs were mixed with JumpStart REDTaq ReadyMix (Sigma) and four
 ng/ul primers (Sigma-Genosys) with a BioMek 2000 robot (Beckman). The
 ten first cycles of PCR amplification were performed with a touchdown
 annealing temperatures decreasing from 60 to 50&deg;C; annealing
 temperature of the next 30 cycles was carried out at 50&deg;C. Amplimers
 were separated on &quot;Ready to Run&quot; precast gels (Pharmacia) and
 sequenced. RACE experiments were performed with the BD SMART RACE cDNA
 Amplification Kit following the manufacturer instructions (BD
 Biosciences).</P>
