Coronavirus host gene regulatory elements now annotated by RefSeq Functional Elements
The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the human host genes associated with SARS-CoV-2 entry and to the elements that regulate expression of these genes. At NCBI, we have prioritized curation of experimentally validated regulatory elements for these genes in the RefSeq Functional Elements project. Our annotations include several enhancers, promoters, cis-regulatory elements and protein binding … Continue reading Coronavirus host gene regulatory elements now annotated by RefSeq Functional Elements
New interaction data, downloads and track hub available for RefSeq Functional Elements
We’ve added several new enhancements to the RefSeq Functional Elements dataset, which provides genome annotation and richly annotated RefSeq and Gene records for experimentally validated non-genic functional regions in human and mouse. Read on to see what we’ve done! New interaction data Non-genic biological regions now link to target genes and other biological regions when there is experimental evidence for interactions. We provide interaction data for regulatory … Continue reading New interaction data, downloads and track hub available for RefSeq Functional Elements

Major update for the NCBI RefSeq mouse GRCm38.p6 annotation
We have updated our annotation for the mouse reference genome, GRCm38.p6. It includes: Markup for RefSeq Select, which identifies one representative transcript and protein for every protein-coding gene. Find features with the ‘tag=RefSeq Select’ attribute in GFF3 for those analyses where you need just a single transcript or protein for each coding gene. You can … Continue reading Major update for the NCBI RefSeq mouse GRCm38.p6 annotation
