What's a GeneRIF?

The SNP discovered here is an artifact caused by contamination by the genomic DNA of the pseudogene DHFRP1.
Title: An artifact derived from a pseudogene led to the discovery of microRNA binding site polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region of the human dihydrofolate reductase gene.

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.
