25FEB2025
Following analysis of NCBIs RefSeq team (see RSCOM-706 Swap nomenclature of pitpnb (XB-GENE-5775924) and pitpnb.2 (XB-GENE-949250)) the gene name for Xenopus tropicalis GeneID:394727 (NP_989122.1) has changed from pitpnb to pitpnbl, in recognition the the true pitpnb gene, based on sequence similarity and synteny, is X. tropicalis GeneID: 780070 XB-GENE-949250.
X. laevis genes also updated.
