I went to turn in my findings from Russ Carsten's file and Rakshitha informed me I'd make a tiny mistake that was going to cost me hours of work. When cross referencing this spreadsheet with the one for alpha 3 I used the Gene column (Red arrow). The problem with that is that column is just one name for any given gene and there's actually up to 5 or 6 names for the same gene! We're kind of in the dark ages when it comes to naming genes because we're discovering new ones everyday. Some genes are "discovered" more than once because they're important to one or more (or freakin 5) different functions.
So essentially I had to go back and make sure for each of the hundreds genes that I didn't look at the other names for that the name wasn't on the alpha 3 spread sheet... I had my work cut out for me.
