Help:What are these AGAPxxx identifiers and where are the old ENSANGxxx IDs

From VectorBase Help System

Jump to: navigation, search

From genebuild 4, VectorBase stable identifiers for genes, transcripts and proteins are used instead of Ensembl-style identifiers. All VB identifiers for Anopheles gambiae begin with the 4 letters AGAP. The same numeric value is used for a gene and all its products. Alternate products of a single gene have suffixes ending A, B, C etc.

More details can be found about the AgamP3.4 gene build here and there is also further practical guidance for conversion between identifiers available.
