Description:
The RGD Genes track shows the location of curated genes available in the Rat Genome Database. Exons are shown as blocks, introns as single pixel connecting lines with small arrows indicating the direction of transcription.

Method
NCBI RefSeq's from curated RGD gene records were aligned against the genome using the blat algorithm. In cases where genes align at more than one location the best alignment was used.

Credits
The RGD Genes track is produced at UCSC from sequence data generated by the research community and curated at the Rat Genome Database at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
