The Xenopus gene names and symbols for vnn1 (XB-GENE-961108, GeneID: 496642, XP_004914646.2) and vnn2 (XB-GENE-5471072, GeneID: 496713, NP_001011263.1) have been swapped.

These two genes are adjacent to each other in human and frogs.

Synteny patterns:

human: RPS12< SLC18B1> VNN2> VNN1> TAAR1>

X. tropicalis: rps12< slc18b1> vnn1> vnn2> taar1>

X.laevis.L : rps12.L< slc18b1.L> vnn1.L> vnn2.L> taar1>L>

Based on synteny to human, GeneID: 496713 appears to be vnn1 and GeneID: 496642 appears to be vnn2.

XB-GENE-961108, GeneID: 496642, XP_004914646.2 was vnn1, is now vnn2

XB-GENE-5471072, GeneID: 496713, NP_001011263.1 was vnn2 is now vnn1.

NB: to date there is no literature citing this genes so it should not make much/any difference to researchers results.
