Hi All Dear,
I found a lot of LOC in the Buffalo Genome. Like, LOC102402636, LOC102402651, LOC102402839 and ...
But I do not know which this locuses are related to what gene. Or, what is their gene synonym?
To find a synonym gene for each of them, what is the best suggestion?
Best Regard

I am not being original here, but neither are you ( Question about gens name starting "LOC~" , What is the definition of LOC# identifier? ). See the conventions section of the NCBI Book Gene Frequently Asked Questions:
Symbols beginning with LOC.
When a published symbol is not available, and orthologs have not yet been determined, Gene will provide a symbol that is constructed as 'LOC' + the GeneID. This is not retained when a replacement symbol has been identified, although queries by the LOC term are still supported. In other words, a record with the symbol LOC12345 is equivalent to GeneID = 12345. So if the symbol changes, the record can still be retrieved on the web using LOC12345 as a query, or from any file using GeneID = 12345.
many thanks for your reply,
I just came to the conclusion that there was no information for them? But apparently in Ensembl, they can be find synonym for them.

That's sort of the easy way, but as jrj,healey wrote above you can always blast them and draw conclusions based on the results.

Ok, I just searched online but could not find a solution. There was nothing else in my mind.
