What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that selenium (Se; a dietary factor) promotes differentiation of embryonic myoblasts; up-regulation of selenoprotein W (SelW) and up-regulation of myogenic regulatory factors (MRF4/MYF6; MRF5; myogenin) upon Se treatment are correlated.
Title: Possible correlation between selenoprotein W and myogenic regulatory factors in chicken embryonic myoblasts.
The wild-type allele A of Myf6 gene had significant positive effects on live-weight, carcass-weight, breast-muscle-weight and leg-muscle-weight (P<0.05), but had negative effects on most of meat quality traits.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
