germes

This is the community wiki page for the gene germes please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase

The germes gene is located Chromosome 3 in Xenopus. Neighboring genes are ing3 and cped1. While a BLAST of germes mRNA returns exons in the chr3S, these hits are of low quality (84%-88% identity), and several exons are missing. This indicates that the germes.S gene was lost in X. laevis. The gene is present in the X. laevis L locus, and in X. tropicalis.
