Non coding genes	729
Small non coding genes	727
Long non coding genes	2
A gene that has homology to known protein-coding genes but contain a frameshift and/or stop codon(s) which disrupts the ORF. Thought to have arisen through duplication followed by loss of function.Pseudogenes	10
A transcript is the operational unit of a gene. In a genomic context, transcripts consist of one or more exons, with adjoining exons being separated by introns. The exons/introns are transcribed and then the introns spliced out. Transcripts may or may not encode a proteinGene transcripts	15,718
