nomenclature changes

20JAN2023

HGNC and NCBIs RefSeq team have recently renamed all ORF genes. The new gene symbols reflect the orthology to the human gene, while starting with a prefix indicating location of the ORF on the Xenopus chromosomes (c#), the 'h#' for the human chromosome then the orf #. (e.g., gene symbol C11orf54 changed to c2h1orf54). Old 'orf' gene symbols are recorded as synonyms.

NOTE THAT THE GENE SYMBOL AS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED HAD A TYPO, IT IS c2h11orf54 not c2h1orf54 ( 11 not 1)

29APR2026

Xenopus gene names changed from c2h11orf54, chromosome 2 C11orf54 homolog to bkgd, beta-keto-L-gulonate decarboxylase following human name changes.
