12March2024

'Xenopus gene name changed from XB5848842 and LOC619584 to cyp2k1 following a assessment of synteny for this region of chr5/5L/5S, which contains are cluster of 30 cytochrome p450 genes.

Xenopus nomenclature rules were applied for duplicated genes, and new gene symbols were based on the existing given NCBI gene/protein characterization in the v10 genome assemblies (ie no additional phylogenetic analysis or protein domain analysis was done to check that these designations held to be true).
