nomenclature changes

04/22/ 2016

Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 7004. From TEA domain family member 4 to TEA domain transcription factor 4

Xenopus gene symbol & gene name was updated from tead4 to tead2. This is supported by synteny.

See Blitz et al 2017, who identified/annotated transcription factors ... they found two TFs that NCBI has named as tead1 and tead4. They suggested that tead4 was misnamed and in fact is orthologous to human TEAD2 and that the frog gene tead4 should be named tead2. We agree!

Conclusion: Xenopus only has two tead genes, #1 and #2, no #3 or #4.
