Description
Mason replied to user inquiry:
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your question. You asked why the default RefGene track in IGB does not display all of the gene variants seen in the UCSC refgene track for the mm9 genome.
________
I opened the same two tracks (I think) in the M_musculus_Dec_2011 genome.
Black is the default track that IGB opens with this genome.
Blue is the refGene track in the UCSC folder.
Looking at the Fn1 gene, the two tracks appear to the the same, Which is very different from the image Mason attached. Mason, did I open the same files as you did?
But some of the other genes from your image (Ankar and Igfbp2) do appear to be different between the two tracks, just like your image shows.
I assume the differences between the tracks are due to differences in where the data came from. Perhaps they are from different versions of the annotations. But both having the same name and no distinguishing info would imply that they are the same.
I can look a the quickload more to see if there are notes about how each of these was made and where the data came from. But I will need to dig a bit.

Thanks for looking into this Ivory!
The difference may be that the data in Quickload are out of date compared to what's in the UCSC genome browser. To investigate, you can retrieve the data from UCSC using the Table Browser and compare to the refseq data file in Quickload.
We can easily replace the data in quickload - just need to update the documentation for it.
Check the Developer's guide for details - review the information about updating a genome version.
If I'm correct, the "action item" for this Jira issue would be to update the data file for mouse and post it on Quickload, using svn to commit it.

HELP-268 All RefGene variants not displayed
- Closed
The most recent mouse M_musculus genomes have been added to IGB Quickload (mm7,8,9,10,39, see
IGBF-3330).Regarding the issue with the two files not appearing the same in IGB, I am unclear if the same two files were loaded. The names of the files in DAS can be confusing. An alternative may be that the files loaded from DAS are not loaded with all of the BED features of files loaded from IGB Quickload (see discussion/comments in
IGBF-2978).Closing ticket as most likely this issue has been resolved.
