name changes

07JUN2026

Xenopus gene name and symbol changed from uckl1, uridine-cytidine kinase 1-like 1 to uckl1b, uridine-cytidine kinase 1-like 1b following orthology assessent and synteny by NCBi and Xenbase.

TRUE UCKL1 orthologs are on Chr 10/9_10L in Xenopus, while these uckl1 'b' genes are on chr 5, 5L and 5S.

The X.trop protein (below) does still hit the UCKL1 homology group,in EggNog5.0, so they are still annotated correctly to the best of our knowledge.
