twice as many splice variants. As part of the migration to the UCSC Genes annotation, we now use our own UCSC Genes accession numbers as the primary key into the underlying knownGene table, rather than the GenBank mRNA accessions used in previous Known Genes annotations. The base accession numbers remain stable across iterations of the data set, although the suffixes may change to reflect version updates.
