Hi David, The "View details of parts of alignment within browser window" link changes when you zoom in or out on a region in the Genome Browser. If the entire mRNA alignment fits into your Browser window, both alignment links on the RefSeq Genes page will be the same. However, if you are zoomed in on only part of the alignment, you will see only that part when you click on "View details of parts of alignment within browser window".
