nomenclaure updates

10MARCH2025

There are 4 genes annotated as 'spaca5' or 'spaca5l' in the v10 Xenopus genome assemblies. Synteny supports this X. tropicalis gene, on Chr8, GENEID:116407060 as the true ortholog of the human SPACA5 gene. The names of the spaca5 genes on chr10/9_10L will be changed to 'spaca5-like' genes 1 and 2.

Xenopus gene symbol and gene name changed from spaca5-like.1, lysozyme C ( which seems incorrect from the get go) to sperm acrosome associated 5 like, and as there are 2 similar gens on this chromosome, it will aka sperm acrosome associated 5 like gene 1.
