# Transcript card

## **Card contents**

The **Transcript card** on the [**Curate Gene page**](/emedgene/emedgene-curate-manual/curate_genes_2_28/curate_gene_page.md) shows:

* **Canonical transcript** and its exon count. Indicated by a checkmark symbol (<i class="fa-circle-check">:circle-check:</i>)
* **Organization preferred reference transcript** and its exon count. Indicated by a star symbol (<i class="fa-circle-star">:circle-star:</i>)
* A **Copy** button to copy transcript ID

During tertiary analysis in Emedgene, the reference transcript selected in **Curate** takes priority. It determines the `main_effect` and `main_gene` for each variant in that gene.

## How to update a gene's reference transcript

<div align="left"><img src="https://1131024994-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FGCW0DnLlE7QjoZPNmKIi%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-58770049de2469ec3d52e4e7e67c6b518507fdf2%2Fcurate_gene_page_5_v32%2Bcurate%2Bgenes%2Btranscript.gif?alt=media" alt="Updating a gene&#x27;s reference transcript in Transcript card." width="425"></div>

Use the dropdown menu to select or change the reference transcript.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the reference transcript dropdown in the **Transcript card**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the reference transcript you want to apply.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Result:** The reference transcript is updated for the gene and used in future case annotations.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-curate-manual/curate_genes_2_28/curate_gene_page/transcript-card.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
