Hi there,
I've found a kind of serious problem with your database which is based on
the RefSeq project.
Many of the refseq accessions, when queried from the genome browser return
more than one gene, IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
If you search, say, NM_198181, this is the case. Sometimes, like in the case
of NM_020364, the different entries are even on opposite strands.
if you want a longer list of examples like this, I can send you some more.
The mistake is somewhere in the conversion from the RefSeq database to your
software, because if you search the same accessions in Entrez you get, as
expected, ONE gene.
Reqseq documents specific, unique, verified transcripts. There should not be
more than one set of coordinates for each refseq accession.
