nomenclature updates and annotation notes

13OCT2026

Xenopus gene nomeclature was updated, changing from from LOC100495897, chromaffin granule amine transporter to slc18a1.6, solute carrier family 18 member A1 gene 6 based on an analysis of protein phylogeny and synteny, and NCBI ortholog calls/assertions for SLC18A1 & SLC18A2 genes.

Note that there are numerous duplications of slc18a1 genes in X. tropicalis and X. laevis on Chr3/3L/3S, and that true slc18a2 genes in Xenopus are found on Chr7/7L, a conclusion supported by synteny.
