[Genome] Genome Browser Problem

[Brandon White]

Hi-
 
I have a genomics problem with your webbroswer.  I'm doing a search using
Human Genome Annotation March 2006.  I cannot find a gene that is suppose to
be in the database and more importantly the gene that I am searching for is
being linked to a different gene.    The gene in question is Twist1 and
Twist2 .  Below are links to the genes which in theory you should be able to
track to the UCSC GENOME BROWSER web page.  However, when you attempt to do
this, TWIST2 does not exist.  More importantly, if you take the mRNA and
perform a genomic blast using TWIST2, you only get TWIST1 back (these genes
do not have introns, therefore mRNA should pull up the a good match on the
genome browser).  Futher, TWIST2 is also called DERMO-1 (DERMO1) but again,
when you do this search, you don't find anything in the genomic databases.  
 
Twist2:  http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=20670
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=20670> 
 
Twist1:  http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=12428
<http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=12428> 
 
Do you know why TWIST2 does not exist or why there seems to be a problem?
TWIST2 is suppose to be found on Chromosome 2 while TWIST1 is found on
Chromosome 7 but they appear to be linked together on the genome page.
 
Thanks for the help!
