Table 1 Total number of genes and protein-coding isoforms in current versions of CHESS, RefSeq, and GENCODE. Genes are counted on the primary chromosomes and unplaced scaffolds from the human reference genome GRCh38, excluding the alternative scaffolds. Pseudogenes, VDJ segments, and C regions are not included in the totals shown in the final column
