synteny and annotation notes

31JAN2023 The cyp2a6 genes in Xenopus have undergone a series of tandem duplication events, resulting in at least 15 duplicated genes.

All gene in the cyp2a6 gene family are found on Chr8/8L/8S in Xenopus, and are flanked by rab4b and egin2 upstream, and axl and olfm4 downstream.

Based on synteny, protein alignmnet and phlogenetic analyses of the protein coding sequences for all the v10 gene models annotations, several new models have been added to these Xenbase gene pages, and 2 more duplications have been named upstream of cyp2a6.1 (these will be called cyp2a6.14 and cyp2a6.15).
