Description
<<<!!!<<< This repository is no longer available>>>!!!>>>. Although the web pages are no longer available, you will still be able to download the final UniGene builds as static content from the FTP site https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repository/UniGene/. You will also be able to match UniGene cluster numbers to Gene records by searching Gene with UniGene cluster numbers. For best results, restrict to the “UniGene Cluster Number” field rather than all fields in Gene. For example, a search with Mm.2108[UniGene Cluster Number] finds the mouse transthyretin Gene record (Ttr). You can use the advanced search page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/advanced to help construct these searches. Keep in mind that the Gene record contains selected Reference Sequences and GenBank mRNA sequences rather than the larger set of expressed sequences in the UniGene cluster.
