nomenclature changes

7sept2022

Name gene name and symbol changed from XB5758396 to igkv3-20l immunoglobulin kappa variable 3-20 like.

This gene was named following alignement of the Xtropicalis and X. laevis proteins to precalculated orthology groups in thew DIOPT program, EggNogg. It aligned to 900+ other proteins from 68 species (including to other Xenopus tropicalis proteins) which are named igkv3-20– immunoglobulin kappa variable 3-20. As there is some variability in subfamilies, I have provisionally added the like suffix.
