What are RefSeq genomes?

What are RefSeq genomes?

A comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant, well-annotated set of reference sequences including genomic, transcript, and protein.

How do I download RefSeq?

To use the download service, run a search in Assembly, use facets to refine the set of genome assemblies of interest, open the “Download Assemblies” menu, choose the source database (GenBank or RefSeq), choose the file type, then click the Download button to start the download.

What is a GenBank accession number?

Sequence identifiers and accession numbers Each GenBank record, consisting of both a sequence and its annotations, is assigned a unique identifier called an accession number that is shared across the three collaborating databases (GenBank, DDBJ, ENA).

What happens if your missing chromosome 17?

Signs and symptoms of 17q12 deletion syndrome can include abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary system, a form of diabetes called maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), delayed development, intellectual disability, and behavioral or psychiatric disorders.

How are reference sequences used in the RefSeq project?

The RefSeq project augments these reference sequences with current knowledge including publications, functional features and informative nomenclature.

How are the functional elements represented in RefSeq?

RefSeq Functional Element Records. RefSeq Functional Element sequences are represented as follows: As DNA sequences encompassing the genomic range of one or more experimentally-validated functional elements. Based on the plus strand of the current human or mouse reference genome assembly, unless otherwise indicated.

What does the XR stand for in RefSeq?

The model RefSeq records produced from this pipeline have a distinguishing accession prefix (XM, XR, XP), are derived from the genomic sequence, have varying levels of transcript or protein homology support, and are not subject to further manual curation.

How can I get a list of RefSeq select accessions?

The entire list of human RefSeq Select accessions, including the subset in the ‘MANE Select’ dataset, can be extracted using the Entrez query “Homo sapiens” [Organism] AND Refseq_select [filter]”. The list can then be downloaded and saved to a file using the “Send to” tab at the top of the Nucleotide results page.
