    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HUGO_Gene_Nomenclature...

    The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is a committee of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) that sets the standards for human gene nomenclature. The HGNC approves a unique and meaningful name for every known human gene, [4] [5] based on a query of experts. In addition to the name, which is usually 1 to 10 words long, the HGNC also ...

  5. Gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene

    Gene nomenclature was established by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), a committee of the Human Genome Organisation, for each known human gene in the form of an approved gene name and symbol (short-form abbreviation), which can be accessed through a database maintained by HGNC. Symbols are chosen to be unique, and each gene has only ...

  6. Gene Ontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Ontology

    The Gene Ontology (GO) is a major bioinformatics initiative to unify the representation of gene and gene product attributes across all species. [1] More specifically, the project aims to: 1) maintain and develop its controlled vocabulary of gene and gene product attributes; 2) annotate genes and gene products, and assimilate and disseminate annotation data; and 3) provide tools for easy access ...

    The abbreviations of genes are according to HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee and written in italic font style (the full names are also written in italic). It is recommended that abbreviations instead of the full name are used. Human gene names are written in capitals, for example ALDOA, INS, etc.

    The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN; previously the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols, and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.

  9. DNA annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_annotation

    Wikipedia has multiple WikiProjects aimed at improving annotation. The Gene WikiProject, for instance, operates a bot that harvests gene data from research databases and creates gene stubs on that basis. [62] The RNA WikiProject seeks to write articles that describe individual RNAs and RNA families in an accessible way. [63]
