Hello Riddhiman Dhar,

It seems that you are viewing the Saccharomyces Genome Database track 
(the SGD track) in the Assembly browser and comparing that track's 
coordinate data to the ensGene.txt table (Ensembl track) from the 
downloads area.

The Ensembl and the Saccharomyces Genome Database tracks are generated 
independently and if the data differ, that is not a database problem, it 
is a problem with the annotation created by the source. The data within 
each track is consistent with itself. You will need to decide which 
annotation source to use/trust. You may need to do this on a 
gene-by-gene basis. There are no plans to update annotation at this 
time. However, you are welcome to upload as a custom track any published 
or curated annotation for the yeast genome that you create/find.

I agree that this particular ensGene YNL177C is wrongly called (from a 
scientific perspective). But the data is consistent through all four 
data sources 1) mySQL 2)Downloads 3)Assembly Browser 4)Table Browser). 
The translation is based on the -3 frame, which is full of start and 
stop codons. The -2 frame looks much better, with a Met at positions 
A(304612),T(304611),G(304610) and a stop codon at positions 
T(303685),G(303684),A(303683). The SGD Genes track appears to get it 
right, picking the correct frame/coordinates.
