[ensembl-dev] question ovis aries

[Leanne Haggerty]

Hi Alessia

I hope I can help clarify the data in Ensembl. We import mitochondrial (MT) annotations from RefSeq, and this hasn’t been updated since April 2023 (RefSeq link <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001941.1/>).
The gene you mentioned appears to be correctly labeled in the Ensembl browser: Ensembl link <https://www.ensembl.org/Ovis_aries_rambouillet/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSOARG00020000007;r=MT:2745-3699;t=ENSOART00020000007>.

Here’s the information as it appears in Ensembl’s GTF file for this MT annotation:

MT	RefSeq	gene	2745	3699	.	+	.	gene_id "ENSOARG00020000007"; gene_version "1"; gene_name "ND1"; gene_source "RefSeq"; gene_biotype "protein_coding";
In this case, gene_id refers to the Ensembl stable ID, while gene_name holds the name “ND1.”

Similarly, in the GFF file:

MT	RefSeq	gene	2745	3699	.	+	.	ID=gene:ENSOARG00020000007;Name=ND1;biotype=protein_coding;description=NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 [Source:NCBI gene (formerly Entrezgene)%3BAcc:808249];gene_id=ENSOARG00020000007;logic_name=mt_genbank_import;version=1
Here, ID represents the stable ID, and “ND1” is located in the Name field.

As far as I can tell, the name “ND1” appears correctly throughout Ensembl. The label “KEF53_p13” seems to be a locus tag found in the RefSeq files.

Please let me know if I’ve misunderstood your query or if I can provide any further clarification.

All the best
Leanne

Annotation of the latest assembly is in progress and data will be available via our new website,beta.ensembl.org <http://beta.ensembl.org/> before the end of the year. In the meantime, we provide annotation data for 21 sheep assemblies, including many different breeds, in case this is useful for you:
