[Genome] mRNA Track

Dear sir,

The GenBank mRNA track shows AF361221.1 on the human chromosome 17,
missing the 5' 278 bp.
It does not show the missing part in any other part of the human genome.

If I 'blat' the mRNA sequence against human genome, I can see that the
missing part can be aligned with 99.7% identity.
According to the Methods describing how the alignment was made, the
alignments having identify within 0.5% of the best match and higer than
96% are to be kept.

I wonder why the 5' part the sequence was not captured in the track.

Sincerely,

Sangsoo
