Omega-5 gliadin (Tri a 19) genome length and FIBONACCI- or LUCAS-numbers: a 98% fit! - A first look by Stefan Geier, Michele Geier-Noehl et al. Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße 6, 83071 Haidholzen Omega-5 gliadin (Tri a 19) is a major wheat allergen encoded at the Gli-1 locus on the short arm of chromosome 1B. The coding sequence length of the gene is typically about 1,344 base pairs (bp), translating to a 439-amino-acid protein with a molecular mass of roughly 65 kDa. Genomic & Protein Specifications Gene Coding Length: mean 1,344 bp ("The ω-5a gene consists of 1,413 bp and has an ORF throughout the entire 1317 bp coding region. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences are shown in Fig. 2 . The nucleotide sequence of the ω-5b gene - which has 1275 bp - is almost identical to that of ω-5a gene except that the repetitive domain is 138 bp shorter."*): 1344/nearest FIBONACCI- or LUCAS-number = 1344/L15 = 1344/1364 = 98.5%, with L15 the 15th LUCAS-number = Phi^15.
