Hello,

Thank you for pointing this out - one of the data points was still in a 
0-based half open format (our standard). We have corrected the data 
point to be 1-based and reformatted the section to make this data more 
clear. As you noticed, there is strong similarity upstream of the PAR2 
region, but these bases are not a part of the official PAR regions as 
reported by NCBI.

We appreciate the feedback and especially your patience while we worked 
to make the correction!
