Hi,

I have a concern about the validation by ENCODE and REFSEQ of the gene:

TMSL3
chr4:91,759,560-91,760,450

It appears to be a processed pseudogene of the highly expressed  TMSB4X

Am I correct in assuming its validation depends   on three mRNA sequences which 
on the UCSC browser mRNA information page elicit a warning about sequence 
correction to pseudogenes?  - e.g.

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgchgsid=193876573&o=91759642&t=91760216&g=mrna&i=CR605307

The ESTs which align with TMSL3 appear at least equally, if not more likely to 
be transcripts from TMSB4X.  I'm not clear why they appear aligned against chr4 

Does this perhaps reflect failure of some pipeline step to detect the short (11 
aa) exon 3, therefore signalling a longer match to the pseudogene?
