otogl2

This is the community wiki page for the gene otogl2 please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase

nomenclature changes

This Gene was originally annotated as otog.

However, this gene on Chromosome 7 of Trop, and Laevis L/S is a recent duplicate with no synteny to the Human OTOG.

As of 8/13/2018, a highly syntenic paralogue to otog is present Laevis Chromosome 4.L. That is NOT THIS GENE! The Ch4L paralogue also has greater sequence similarity to human OTOG. XB-GENEPAGE-22041739 will be named otog.

Dubaissi et al. made the correct gene naming designations in their 2018 paper, and Xenbase has made the changes to match their work.

This page should 1)remain named otogl2 unless further researched and renamed 2)remain linked to otog as the nearest human paralogue
