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.

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

NM_018507.1: Suppressed sequence

Description

NM_018507.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because it is primarily 3'' UTR sequence and it is on the wrong strand compared to other mRNA transcripts for the gene.
