IMGT/LIGMotif 'Gene description' module. The output of the 'Gene description' module is a 'Described V-GENE-UNIT' (A), 'Described D-GENE-UNIT' (B) or 'Described J-GENE-UNIT' (C). The delimitation of conserved motif searching areas (CMSA) is described in the text. At least two conserved motifs need to be found. If not, the output is 'V undescribed', 'D undescribed' and 'J undescribed'. The absence of V-EXON for a V gene leads to a 'V partially described'. The delimitation of motifs using conserved motifs as anchors is shown in Figure 6.
