overlapping genes


Also found in: Encyclopedia.

overlapping genes

two or more GENES in which the NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE of part or all of one gene overlaps with that of the next gene. It may be that the genes are translated (see TRANSLATION in different reading frames (see OPEN READING FRAME), or in the same reading frame but using different initiation and termination signals for translation. In these ways the coding capacity of the genetic material can be maximized, giving more than one gene product.

Detection of genome-wide structural variations in the Shanghai Holstein cattle population using next-generation sequencing
For comparisons of gene expression to human tissue-specific gene expression from GTEx (GTEx Consortium, 2015), normalized counts for each cardiomyocyte donor were combined with median tissue counts downloaded from the GTEx portal and overlapping genes were kept (n = 2640).

By comparing the data in several databases, we found that two overlapping genes and their corresponding transcripts have been given the name BCYRN1 (BC200): a gene 13,458 nt in length (chr2:47,331,060-47,344,517, GRCh38, Gencode Transcript ENST00000418539.1, and Gencode Gene ENSG00000236824.1) and a gene 200nt in length (chr2:47,335,315-47,335,514, GRCh38, Gencode Transcript ENST00000418539.2, and Gencode Gene ENSG00000236824); the two genes are in the same orientation.
