## Description

This track shows RefSeq genes curated by the Rat Genome Database (RGD). Coding exons are represented by blocks connected by horizontal lines representing introns. The 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) are displayed as thinner blocks on the leading and trailing ends of the aligning regions. In full display mode, arrowheads on the connecting intron lines indicate the direction of transcription.

## Methods

The annotation data file, RGD_curated_genes.gff, was downloaded from the RGD website and processed to create this track.

## Credits
