average gene size

[Dave Leonard Baillie]

I have few questions: 

1.  What is the average size of a C. elegans gene.  I mean if one bases
	ones estimate on the most recent, consortium sequence data.

2.  What is the current record for highest gene density, say on a cosmid
	sized fragment.

3.  What is the longest stretch with no recognizable gene.

4.  What fraction of C. elegans genome project genes have Homo sapien hits.

5.  What fraction of C. elegans cDNA's have H. s. hits.

6.  What is the current record for the longest number of xscripts on one
	strand that have no interuption by transcription units on the other
	strand.

7.  What is the longest C. elegans gene that has been predicted by genefinder 
	or cDNA match.
