What's a GeneRIF?

Findings indicate that chromobox 6 (CBX6) is an essential component of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) biology that contributes to the structural and functional complexity of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) complex.
Title: The Polycomb group protein CBX6 is an essential regulator of embryonic stem cell identity.
different CBX proteins are recruited to distinct chromatin regions through nonconserved interactions. Metaphase spreads revealed reciprocal patterns of chromosome association by CBX2 and CBX6
Title: Different polycomb group CBX family proteins associate with distinct regions of chromatin using nonhomologous protein sequences.

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.
