Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The exon-intron organization of genes of all human chromosomes was studied in relation to the density of gene distribution on DNA strands and on the number of introns in genes. The lengths of exons, introns and genes have been found to vary correlatively, and this correlation depends on the density of genes in human chromosomes. It has been established that genes with the exon-intron organization have similar tendencies of variation of the lengths of exons and introns with an increase in the number of introns.
