#' This data set catalogs combined exon segments from the 22 human autosomes.

#' The \code{hg_exons} data set catalogs the positions of exons residing in the 22 human autosomes. The data contained in \code{hg_exons} was collected from the hg 38 reference genome with the UCSC Genome Browser's Table Brower Tool.  In \code{hg_exons} overlapping exons have been combined into a single observation. When exons from genes with different NCBI accession numbers have been combined the variable \code{NCBIref} will contain multiple accession numbers separated by commas.  We note that different accession numbers may exist for transcript variants of the same gene.
