Hi, May I suggest a minor clarification for knownGene track title/description in the Table Browser? Currently, following title is shown (hg19 example):
"UCSC Genes Based on RefSeq, UniProt, GenBank, CCDS and Comparative Genomics" Database: hg19 Primary Table: knownGene Row Count: 77,614 Format description: Genes based on RefSeq, GenBank, and UniProt. Note, RefSeq, UniProt, and GenBank databases mentioned are all being constantly maintained and updated on a regular basis (daily to monthly) while knownGene track is not, AFAIK. While knownGene may have incorporated RefSeq and UniProt annotations information at the time of initial release (e.g., Feb. 2009 in case of hg19), the versions of these database used has long been outdated since. I believe this should be reflected in the description of the table. I am aware of periodical updates to linked tables (e.g. ccdsKgMap and kgXref) but this is different from UCSC gene annotations themselves, which are NOT updated alongside with RefSeq and UniProt.
