Because of previous usage and to avoid confusion, the new assignments result in there being no gene/protein named ARL7 or ARL12. See Table S2 for a list of earlier names and references in which earlier names were used (available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200512057/DC1).

a

The sequence currently in the database is predicted to be incorrect, and our corrected information was used herein.

b

New names approved by the HGNC.

c

Previous names that were recently changed.
