Good morning,

I have some questions about the update of the UCSC data.

You wrote me that you use the most recent RefSeq entry at NCBI, and you 
update your refGene and refLink tables nightly for every assembly for 
which you have a browser.

In refFlat and refLink file I still find that C14orf151 and INF2 are 2 
distinct genes with 2 GeneID. In the other databank like the NCBI, 
C14orf151 is an aliases (previous name) of INF2. I first thought that 
the 2 databases (UCSC and NCBI) were not synchronized. That is why I 
waited 10 days before comparing them again. But they still differ. Do 
you know why ?

Thanks in advance,
Juliette
