[Genome] why do dog refseq genes show up as non-dog refseq genes?

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Richard,

You have discovered a bug in the way we are handling updates to our 
RefSeq tables on dog (both canFam1 and canFam2).   The bug stems from 
the fact that dog (Canis familiaris) has recently been reclassified to a 
subspecies of the wolf (Canis lupus familiaris).

We're currently remaking the tables underlying both the "RefSeq Genes" 
and the "Non-Dog RefSeq Genes" tracks.  We expect that they will be 
ready in a few days.

Thanks for pointing this out!  Please let us know if you have any 
further questions.
