<div dir="ltr">One small addition: while Ensembl and RefSeq models can differ with regard to their outer bounds, they can also slightly differ with regard to their sequence. Ensembl models are based on the reference assembly, while RefSeq models are based on the cDNA sequence.<div>

<br>
So there a point that both gene sets do come from different institutes and funding streams and we want to maintain the best service to our users. Historically we have provided both gene sets separately as we felt this was the best way, at the time, to serve our users. However we are discussing how to have better links between Ensembl and RefSeq. One of the options is generating an über gene set similar to the one you have mentioned. This is still in the very early stages of discussion and is a non-trivial process. We will keep you & everyone else informed of any developments.<br>

All the best,<br>
