What's a GeneRIF?

differential gene expression of microfibril-associated glycoprotein (MAGP-36); MAGP-36 was expressed highly in sites rich in elastic fibers - aorta, skin & esophagus, but it was also expressed highly in other sites containing no elastic fibers.
Title: Differential gene expression of 36-kDa microfibril-associated glycoprotein (MAGP-36/MFAP4) in rat organs.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
