Silver

TAG is unique in the genome but it matches two or more overlapping transcripts located at the same genomic region

Al

Aluminum

TAG is not unique in the genome, it matches a transcript, but other occurrences of this TAG also match another transcript located at a different genomic region

Cu

Copper

TAG is unique in the genome and it matches an intergenic region

Fe

Iron

TAG is not unique in the genome, it matches an intergenic region, but other occurrences of this TAG always match an intergenic region
