Hi Rahil, Please see this previously answered mailing list question:
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2006-April/010350.html Please note that the proteome database is not up to date with the current HGNC approved gene symbols. Hopefully this will help clarify our process. If you have further questions, please contact the mailing list: [email protected].

I understand the point you have stated before that the certain genes (with their transcripts) can be present at multiple locations in human genome and that the databases such as RefSeq and HGNC are evolving in better understanding of genes. I have two question though: 1. Are the gene symbols mentioned in UCSC Genome Browser table unique just like HGNC give unique gene symbol to each gene such that no two genes can have same gene symbol 2. Are the gene symbols of UCSC Genome Browser HGNC Gene Symbols?
