nomenclature changes

25APRIL2023 Xenopus gene name changed from rergl2 (provisional) to rergl.2 (provisional).

synteny and orthology

there are 3 'RERG' family genes in Xenopus tropicalis:

rerg RAS like estrogen regulated growth inhibitor on chr3/3L. XB-GENEPAGE-489596

rergl RERG/RAS-like on Chr3/3L/3S XB-GENEPAGE-6037389

rergl.2 on Chr4/4L XB-GENEPAGE-877260

Based on pattern of synteny, the rergl.2 X. tropicalis gene (GeneID:100145332) is 'NOT' the true ortholog of human RERG nor RERGL. It seems to be a Xenopus and possible amphibian species gene very similar to RERGL, so is named provisionally here with the 'gene 2' suffix, assuming it is a duplication oft the rergl gene.
