nomenclature changes

25FEB2025

XB-GENEPAGE-5783524 has been renamed, changing from 'sass6, spindle assembly 6 to sass6l, spindle assembly 6 like.

Note that the Xtrop proteins still BLAST to SASS6 and match the SASS6 homology groups in EggNog 5.0, so these chr1/1L genes in Xenopus do seem to be orthologous to human SASS6 as well. However, I have removed the SASS6 orthology assertions from this page for now , and suggest/ask whether these should be called sass6b as we would not use not '.2' as they are not tandem duplicates of true sass6, and keep the SASS6 orthology assertions.
