  1. †The total number of matches using each criterion; one-to-one match was not assumed.
  2. ‡Number in each row is sequential for the match criteria given under "number of pairs", in addition to the matches for the criteria immediately above; only one-to-one matches were considered.
  3. *Manually matched because the consensus genes were classified into different 'gene type' (e.g. protein coding, pseudogene, tRNA and miscellaneous RNA) in the NCBI and Ensembl gene models.
