Genome Annotation Status: not in current annotation release; Note: LOC100911617 appears to be a duplicate placement of Prmt6 (GeneID: 295384) on Rnor_6.0 that is not present on Rn_Celera (Annotation Release 105) and not supported by synteny in mouse and human. Additionally, gene neighbor LOC102552915 also appears to be duplicated as LOC102547648. BLASting LOC100911617 XM_008761447.1 and Prmt6 NM_001106466.1 against the rat genome shows best hits to NC_005101.4 on Rnor_6.0 at locations where LOC100911617 and Prmt6 are annotated and to AC_000070.1 on Rn_Celera only at location where Prmt6 is annotated (Annotation Release 105). 2-sequence BLAST of Prmt6 NM_001106466.1 against LOC100911617 XM_008761447.1 shows high sequence identity (100% coverage, 100% identity). 2-sequence BLAST of LOC100911617 underlying component AABR07012875.1 against Prmt6 underlying component AABR07012881.1 shows 99% sequence identity across ~34 kb.
