nomenclature changes
05DEC2022
HGNC and NCBIs RefSeq team have recently renamed all non-human open reading frame (ORF) genes. The new Xenopus gene symbol syntax reflects the orthology to the human gene while starting with a prefix indictating location of the ORF on the Xenopus chromosome, i.e., the Xenopus chromosome number (c#), then 'h#' for the human chromosome number, then the same human 'orf #'. Old human 'c'orf' gene symbols are recorded as synonyms.
25MAY2023
Gene symbol changed from c14orf39 /.L/.S to c8h14orf39 and name changed from "chromosome 14 open reading frame 39" to "chromosome 8 C14orf39 homolog", according to new c#h##orf# naming rules.
c14orf39 added as a synonym to this gene.
30Nov2023
Xenopus gene name changed from c8h14orf39, "chromosome 8 C14orf39 homolog" to six6os1, six6 opposite strand transcript 1 following the rat ortholg name, and our need to give protein coding genes more meaningful names.
This naming is supported by synteny, and this research article: Ochi et al 2017 Co-accumulation of cis-regulatory and coding mutations during the pseudogenization of the Xenopus laevis homoeologs six6.L and six6.S. Dev Biol 2017 Jul 01;4271:84-92. PubMed ID: 28501477 .
Note that Gene models for X. laevis c8h14orf39 /c14orf39/ LOC100486324 were absent in the v9 genome assemblies but are present in etc v10 assembly. See synteny below.
