Hi Aly, Gene and gene prediction data can be generated through computer processes or through manual curation by researchers - it is a good idea to look at the track descriptions to see how a particular gene set was created. UCSC Genes is based in part on RefSeq (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGene?hgg_do_kgMethod=1), so it is not surprising UCSC Genes shows ANKRD30B to chr18, same as RefSeq. We also show a related pseudogene on chr21. Information about how Ensembl builds their gene set can be found here: http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/genebuild/genome_annotation.html.
I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact the mail list again if you require further assistance.
