APPRIS ALT2: For genes in which the APPRIS core modules are unable to choose a clear principal isoform, the ALT1 is the candidate transcript(s) models that appear to be conserved in fewer than three tested species.

APPRIS is a system to annotate alternatively spliced transcripts based on a range of computational methods to identify the most functionally important transcript(s) of a gene.

TSL 5: A transcript where no single transcript supports the model structure.

The Transcript Support Level (TSL) is a method to highlight the well-supported and poorly-supported transcript models for users, based on the type and quality of the alignments used to annotate the transcript.

APPRIS P2: Where the APPRIS core modules are unable to choose a clear principal variant (approximately 25% of human protein coding genes), the database chooses two or more of the CDS variants as "candidates" to be the principal variant.

APPRIS is a system to annotate alternatively spliced transcripts based on a range of computational methods to identify the most functionally important transcript(s) of a gene.

TSL 1: A transcript where all splice junctions are supported by at least one non-suspect mRNA.

The Transcript Support Level (TSL) is a method to highlight the well-supported and poorly-supported transcript models for users, based on the type and quality of the alignments used to annotate the transcript.

TSL 3: A transcript where the only support is from a single EST

The Transcript Support Level (TSL) is a method to highlight the well-supported and poorly-supported transcript models for users, based on the type and quality of the alignments used to annotate the transcript.
