RefSeq version

[BCCHR workemail]

Hello,

I am using IGV-Web app version 1.5.7. The track RefSeq genes is loaded. I can see that it is from URL: https://s3.amazonaws.com/igv.org.genomes/hg19/ncbiRefSeq.sorted.txt.gz. However, I am not sure what version / date of accession of RefSeq genes this is. Is there a way that I can get more information about this track?

Thanks so much

The track is downloaded from UCSC, specifically here: https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/ncbiRefSeq.txt.gz.   These annotations are curated by UCSC and aligned to their hg19 reference, which we also use.

I'm not sure this answers your question, but I don't think there is an answer as NCBI is not the source of these annotations directly.

Note that if you require more specific annotations you can load any file in "gff" or other common annotation formats from the file menu.
