I was using the “Annotated my IDs - FeatureCounts” tool when i realize that some of my genes had a NA tag, so i went to the NCBI page to check and it said “This record was replaced with Gene ID: XXXX”. Can i just replace them? or should i check somehow if this new gene correspond to my previous annotated ones?
