A current list can be displayed from Gene at any time by clicking on Preview/Index, selecting Properties from the pull-down menu, and clicking on Index. Definitions of all RefSeq types are maintained at the RefSeq homepage.
| Property name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| alive | a current, primary record (i.e., not secondary or discontinued). The term secondary means a record that has been merged into another. |
| GeneRIF | a record having one or more GeneRIF annotations attached |
| genetype miscrna | gene encodes an RNA not in any of the specifics below |
| genetype other | of know type, but not any of the specific known categories |
| genetype protein coding | encodes a protein |
| genetype pseudo | pseudogene |
| genetype rrna | encodes ribosomal RNA |
| genetype scrna | encodes small cytoplasmic RNA |
| genetype snorna | encodes small nucleolar RNA |
| genetype snrna | encodes small nuclear RNA |
| genetype trna | encodes transfer RNA |
| genetype unknown | the type of gene is not known |
| has transcript variants | a record having two or more associated RefSeq transcripts, i.e. splice variants. NOTE: this is limited to RefSeq annotation and should NOT be used to identify all genes exhibiting alternative splicing, promoter usage, and/or polyadenylation signals. |
| phenotype | has an associated phenotype |
| phenotype only | only method of defining this gene is by phenotype |
| source extrachomosomal | located extrachromosomally |
| source genomic | located on a chromosome |
| source mitochondrion | located in the mitochondrion |
| source other | location not included in other specifics |
| source organelle | located in an organelle (includes mitochondrion and plastid) |
| source plasmid | located in a plasmid |
| source plastid | located in a plastid |
| source proviral | located in a provirus |
| source virion | located in a virion |
| srcdb refseq | has an associated RefSeq |
| srcdb refseq inferred | has an associated RefSeq of type inferred |
| srcdb refseq known | has an associated RefSeq of type known |
| srcdb refseq model | has an associated RefSeq of type model |
| srcdb refseq predicted | has an associated RefSeq of type predicted |
| srcdb refseq provisional | has an associated RefSeq of type provisional |
| srcdb refseq reviewed | has an associated RefSeq of type reviewed |
| srcdb refseq validated | has an associated RefSeq of type validated |
