Feature annotation: RefSeq vs Ensembl vs Gencode, what's the difference?
To add to rightskewed answer:
While it is true that:
Gencode is an additive set of annotation (the manual one done by Havana and an automated one done by Ensembl),
the annotation (GTF) files are quite ...

Ensembl vs Gencode
https://www.gencodegenes.org/faq.html
The GENCODE annotation is made by merging the Havana manual gene annotation and the Ensembl automated gene annotation. [...] In practical ...

Feature annotation: RefSeq vs Ensembl vs Gencode, what's the difference?
To add practical advice to what others have said:
In a practical sense, I think the biggest difference between RefSeq and Ensembl/GENCODE is in the sensitivity/specificity trade off.
Ensembl aims ...

Is it possible to obtain RefSeq transcripts from Ensembl database for GRCh37 to match Ensembl Genes?
The RefSeq match option in BioMart is from the Matched Annotation from NCBI and EBI (MANE) collaboration between RefSeq and Ensembl. It has only been calculated for the up-to-date gene annotation on ...

RefSeq transcript naming - transcript vs gene
No, this is the same sequence. A single RefSeq accession will correspond to one sequence. However, nobody said that sequence needs to be unique in the genome. The specific sequence you are talking ...

Mapping RefSeq-ID or NCBI-ID (Entrez-ID) to EC number
You can use Entrez Direct for this as follows:
efetch -db protein -id YP_805528.1 -format gpc -mode xml | xtract -insd Protein EC_number
YP_805528.1 6.3.2.13

blasting a refseq protein does not show the protein in the result set
NP_420767 is represented by the non-redundant refSeq protein WP_010919826, which has the same amino acid sequence. This is not very clearly annotated, but if you scroll down to the sequence in the ...

While annotations between RefSeq and Gencode are not so different is the coding regions (genes), Gencode is much more rich in the intergenic regions. This could be very advantagous for epigenetic ...
