nomenclature changes

12March2024

'Xenopus gene name changed from LOC108717227 to cyp2k4.4 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).

Note that there is no paralogous X. tropicalis cyp2k4.4 gene in the v10 assembly. The old v4.0 gene model on this page needs to be removed ( but cannot be manually removed at this point in time), as it is actually the model for the Xtr.cyp2e1 gene, and is also archived on XB-GENE-5768835.
