A small fraction of RefSeqs are based on DNA level annotations. In most cases, there is a HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee symbol or other biological name associated with the gene. In the case of the RefSeq track, the association between these names and the accession is maintained at NCBI and is also present in the refLink table.</p> @@ -415,19 +415,19 @@ BLAT-generated RefSeq track methods are described in corresponding track description pages (e.g., <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=refGene" target="_blank">RefSeq track description for hg19)</a>.</p> <p> In 2017, NCBI RefSeq coordinates for hg38 were used for generating non-discrepant RefSeq tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser.
