08MARCH2025
Synteny doesn't support this gene to be the orthology of human SPACA5- that honor is given to the chr8 'Xtr.spaca5' genes, thus this gene has been renamed spaca5l.2
There are 4 genes annotated as 'spaca5' or 'spaca5l' in the v10 Xenopus genome assemblies. Synteny supports this X. tropicalis gene, on Chr8, GENEID:116407060 as the true ortholog of the human SPACA5 gene. The names of the spaca5 genes on chr10/9_10L will be changed to 'spaca5-like' genes 1 and 2.
his Xenopus gene name has been changed from sperm acrosome associated 5 to sperm acrosome associated 5 gene 2.
