A particular transcript has four known exons. The start codon is in exon 2. A gene predictor only predicted three exons for this gene, however the prediction was 100% correct. How might this be explained?

Examine the following gene prediction:
+ TSS 18574 - 8.59
+ 1 CDSf 19681 - 19900 13.56
+ 2 CDSi 22135 - 22802 39.38
+ 3 CDSl 26813 - 27016 2.49
+ PolA 27211 0.93

How many coding exons are predicted?

Examine the following gene prediction:
+ TSS 18574 - 8.59
+ 1 CDSf 19681 - 19900 13.56
+ 2 CDSi 22135 - 22802 39.38
+ 3 CDSl 26813 - 27016 2.49
+ PolA 27211 0.93

Suppose you found out that the -35 signal of this gene’s promoter is well over 1000 bp upstream from the start codon. How is it possible that it is so far from the start codon and not 35 bases upstream from that start codon?
