My name is Monica L. Garcia Espino and I have been studying an specific gene(DSCAM) in the human genome which is located in the Down syndrome Critical Region, and looking at the databases of UCSC I found out that the location of the DSCAM gene has changed location from 2006(NCBI36/hg18) and the current 2009(GRCh37/hg19). In 2006 the location of this gene is at 40,306213 and it moved around 1 million bp starting at 41,308343 in 2009. I don’t understand how the gene could've change location in the human genome and why it moves? how can I know that the data that I am obtaining is valid? Could you please help me to understand more about these gene models?
Thank you. _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
