Ensembl gene summary question..

[arkilis]

Newbie to here, when I go some page at Ensembl... Like this one: http://asia.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens...2283-184053146

why there are other sequences there like FAM131A-006, what is it and why put it here?

Thanks

The Fam131a gene is next to the Eif4g1 gene on the genome. The various -006 or -010 forms are splice forms.

Any relations with the two genes: Fam131a and Eif4g1

Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean much...it's a big genome. Genomic proximity isn't a great predictor or relatedness.
