Explore discrepancies in gene annotations in Glycoside Hydrolase Family 9 enzymes, analyzing start codon variations and Shine-Delgarno sequence presence. How different databases handle these variations and how to identify the correct start codon. Learn how to navigate such discrepancies while examining the genome.

Shine-Delgarno? • No Shine-Delgarno sequence immediately in front of start codons • The only suggested Shine-Delgarno comes far after the beginning of the gene
Glycoside hydrolase family 9 • Group of enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic linkages in carbohydrates • Classified into families based on how similarities • Family 9 • Endoglucanase • Cellobiohydrolase http://pfam.sanger.ac.uk/structure?id=1rq5
Resolution? How do all three databases come up with a different start codon? How do we truly know which is the correct start codon? How do we deal with this as we examine the genome?
