There are many other tracks in the group "Genes and Gene Predictions". Genscan and N-Scan are older transcript predictor algorithms that are based on the genome sequence alone. These and similar gene tracks are only relevant when you are working on a particular locus where you think that the manually curated gene models Ensembl and RefSeq have errors.
To illustrate differences between the most common gene tracks, here is an overview of a few different tracks on human hg38 and how many transcripts they contain as of March The Genome Browser Group only displays transcripts provided by others. But both RefSeq and Gencode have dedicated staff that look manually at each and every transcript and they know everything there is to know about gene models. They are happy to answer your questions and they can change the transcript annotation.
Submit your questions via the RefSeq contact form or the Gencode context form. On the latest human and mouse genome assemblies hg38 and mm10 , the identifiers, transcript sequences, and exon coordinates are almost identical between equivalent Ensembl and GENCODE versions excluding alternative sequences or fix sequences.
At the time of writing Ensembl 89 , a few transcripts differ due to conversion issues. Apart from gene annotation itself, the links to external databases differ. For most applications, the files distributed on the GENCODE website should be easier to use, as the third party database links are easier to parse and the sequence identifiers match the UCSC genome files, at least for the primary chromosomes.
Different institutions have different rules on how they annotate genes. Also, RefSeq transcripts have their own sequences independent of the genome assembly, so certain population-specific variants may be in RefSeq that are entirely missing from the reference genome sequence.
This has the important implication that the position of genome variants are harder to map to RefSeq transcripts than for GENCODE since RefSeq transcripts can have additional sequence or missing sequence relative to the genome.
The links from either transcript model to other gene-related databases are different. In general, it seems that high-throughput sequencing data results, e. It depends on your particular project which gene model set you want to use. Over time, the two transcript databases have been and are becoming more similar.
It was built with a gene predictor developed at UCSC. The software is no longer in use and there are no plans to release the track on newer human assemblies. It was last used for the mm10 mouse assembly. This related information is also available using the Table Browser. A more comprehensive definition can also be found in the Ensembl FAQ. By default, the track displays only the "basic" set.
The advantage of NCBI alignments are that they are placed manually to a chromosome location and are the official alignments, e. Very similar transcripts: Let's take the case of two almost-identical transcripts sequences in RefSeq, with two genes in the genome where they could be placed.
NCBI has a rule to place every transcript only once, and transcripts are manually tied to a chromosome band or location by NCBI, so each gene will get one and only one transcript of two. UCSC RefSeq though places all transcripts where they align at very high identity, so both genes will get annotated with both transcripts.
It may be good to know about almost-identical alignments when doing genomic analysis or manual inspection of NGS read alignments, but for clinical reporting purposes or other automated analyses, we strongly recommend to use the NCBI RefSeq track. This happens especially when sequence deletions in the genome make the placement very difficult.
Activating the RefSeq Alignments track shows NCBI's splign alignments in more detail, including double lines where both transcript and genomic sequence are skipped in the alignment. When available, the RefSeq Diffs subtrack may be helpful too.
