[ensembl-dev] Difference in genomic coordinates between REFSEQ and ENSEMBL

[Andy Yates]

Hi Duarte,

So there a point that both gene sets do come from different institutes and funding streams and we want to maintain the best service to our users. Historically we have provided both gene sets separately as we felt this was the best way, at the time, to serve our users. However we are discussing how to have better links between Ensembl and RefSeq. One of the options is generating an über gene set similar to the one you have mentioned. This is still in the very early stages of discussion and is a non-trivial process. We will keep you & everyone else informed of any developments.

All the best,

Andy
