RefSeq NM_xxxxxx and GenBank AFxxxxxx appear to be duplicates. Will one be removed?
No, both records will continue to be available. RefSeq and GenBank are separate databases, and both are included in the Entrez Nucleotides data set. RefSeq is a curated database in which each record encapsulates our current understanding of a gene, similar to a review article. In contrast, GenBank is an archival database where each record represents the work of a specific research group.
