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.

RNA

NR_104584.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (6) contains an alternate internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

AL356863
NR_104585.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (7) lacks an alternate internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the predicted ORF does not meet RefSeq quality criteria.
