For example, one of the chimpanzee upstream sequence names is ">panTro2_refGene_NM_002600 range=chr1:66940236-66948235 5'pad=0 3'pad=0 revComp=FALSE strand=+ repeatMasking=lower", in which NM_002600 is the NM accession No. for human instead of chimpanzee. Does it mean this gene of chimpanzee is a homolog of NM_002600 in human?
