AI Thread Summary
FASTA headers typically provide essential information about the genomic location of a gene, including the chromosome number, base pair range, and transcription direction. In the case of a mouse gene, the header indicates it is part of the mouse genome, but lacks specific details about the chromosome it resides on. The discussion raises questions about the gene's location on a mouse chromosome, the meaning of "gene scaffold," and the term "dipOrd1." Clarification on these points is sought, particularly from a user named Ygggdrasil, who may have insights into the mouse genomic data.

Normally when we have a FASTA header on top of a sequence of a gene in ncbi you expect something like

>chromosome:NCBI36:7:100155759:100159857:1

This clearly indicate that on the 7th chromosome and between bases 100155759 and 100159857 the concerned gene is present. It further tells us that its the human genome (NCBI36) and that the gene is transcribed in the direction of the forward strand.

But let's come back to the title which actually is also a FaSTA header present on top of a sequence of a gene in ncbi. Now its the mouse genome (found that out separately, and I know the gene lies between 21480 and 57878 and that its transcribed along the reverse strand). But where does the gene lie (as in which mouse chromosome)? And what's this gene scaffold ? And what's dipOrd1?

Lots of thanks in advance.
