What Does ".#" Means In Tair Gene Id?

Hi all,

alt text

I wonder what is different "AT1G01060.1", "AT1G01060.2", and others on above "A" column.
I guess they are alternative splicing form. Is it correct?

Thanks.

Yes you are correct, they are alternative transcripts for the gene. So the locus is AT1G01060, the transcripts are AT1G01060.1, AT1G01060.2...

You can see a graphic representation of the transcripts at this link.

Yes. See for example:
