[Genome] Refseq bug

[Archana Thakkapallayil]

Hello Chris,

Here is the response from one of our developers to your question:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/sutils/girevhist.cgi

shows that NM_138996.1 was permanently suppressed because currently 
there is not sufficient data to support this transcript. We just got a 
new refseq release, which is when we detect deleted entries.

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Please don't hesitate to 
contact us again if you require further assistance.

Regards,

Archana
