gene model and synteny notes
In X. tropicalis v9.1 and v10 slc5a8.1 is on Chromosome 3, in the following gene order:
XtrChr10: [prov]muc1>. anno4> [prov]slc5a8.2< slc5a8.1> utp20> arl1< spic>
A second 'slc5a8' gene is annotated on Chr 10, but although this is not present in the v10 annotation, it remains in the Xenbase liftover genome.
XtropChr10:v9.1 gene order: dynilrb1< itch< asip< slc5a8> Xetrov90025423m.g> raly<
