Hello Professor Jeffery, One reason that the gene lists might be different is that we use a different method for annotating the genome than NCBI. Whereas NCBI uses their own pipeline, we use BLAT which could produce different results. You can read more about BLAT here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#BLATAlign The DQ identifiers (i.e. DQ186650) are genbank accession numbers. Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the mailing list at [email protected].
