Hello,
I noticed that the number of RefSeq genes for Zebrafish -- Jul. 2010
(Zv9/danRer7) is currently 15,803, from the refGene table.
RefSeq Genes (refGene) Summary Statistics
item count 15,803
item bases 391,968,562 (27.80%)
item total 425,791,569 (30.20%)
smallest item 60
average item 26,944
biggest item 2,381,874
block count 138,070
block bases 28,912,124 (2.05%)
block total 29,774,076 (2.11%)
smallest block 1
average block 216
biggest block 8,378
This is quite in contrast with the numbers listed in Ensembl (~32K) and
NCBI/Gene (~34K
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=search&term=alive%5Bprop%5D%20NOT%20newentry%5Btitle%5D%20AND%20txid7955).
I am wondering whether you could explain this difference.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Andrea Sboner
