Hi Peng,

The UCSC Genes track is more discriminatory, with only one mapping. 
Using the UCSC mapping is probably the best way to go.

database=mm9, search position box = NR_002891

UCSC Genes

NR_002891 (uc008guv.1) at chr19:12979721-12981475 - NR_002891

RefSeq Genes (refGene)

NR_002891 at chr19:12979721-12981475
NR_002891 at chr10:5917375-5943370

(The RefSeq hits are close in score, which is why both were retained. 
Please note that the Methods for the track may have a mistake - we'll 
get back to you about that).

Thanks,
Jen
