nomenclature changes

NOV 2019

This gene represents one of 9 duplicated ‘nat8’ genes identified by Xenbase during analysis Xenopus v9/10 genome annotation, all on Chromosome 1 in X. tropicalis and X. laevis, and is likely a true ortholog of the human NAT8 gene.

Note that X. laevis does not always have both .L and .S homeologs.

06.30.2020

Following HGNC guidelines, where Xenopus names follow/match human gene names, Xenbase updated the name for nat8.5 from N-acetyltransferase 8 (GCN5-related, putative) gene 5 to N-acetyltransferase 8 gene 5.
