  2. Gene nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_nomenclature

    Nomenclature generally follows the conventions of human nomenclature. Gene symbols generally are italicised, with all letters in uppercase (e.g., NLGN1, for neuroligin1). Protein designations are the same as the gene symbol, but are not italicised; all letters are in uppercase (NLGN1). mRNAs and cDNAs use the same formatting conventions as the ...

  3. HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. 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 ...

    Mutations in the gene of the mother cause improper development in the offspring Moron gene: A prophage gene that has no role in the phage's lysogenic cycle. NEMO: NF-kappa-B essential modulator: Methuselah-like proteins: Named for Methuselah, extends the lifespan of an organism: NUDEL-Gen: German for "Noodle" NudE Neurodevelopment Protein 1 ...

  6. Locus (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)

    Cytogenetic banding nomenclature. The shorter arm of a chromosome is termed the p arm or p-arm, while the longer arm is the q arm or q-arm. The chromosomal locus of a typical gene, for example, might be written 3p22.1, where: [citation needed] 3 = chromosome 3; p = p-arm; 22 = region 2, band 2 (read as "two, two", not "twenty-two") 1 = sub-band 1

  7. Lists of human genes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_human_genes

    NB: Each list page contains 5000 human protein-coding genes, sorted alphanumerically by the HGNC-approved gene symbol. Follow the Python code link for information about updates to the list of genes on these pages.

  8. Gene family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_family

    The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) creates nomenclature schemes using a "stem" (or "root") symbol for members of a gene family (by homology or function), with a hierarchical numbering system to distinguish the individual members.

  9. Solute carrier family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solute_carrier_family

    The SLC gene nomenclature system was originally proposed by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee and is the basis for the official HGNC names of the genes that encode these transporters. A more general transmembrane transporter classification can be found in TCDB database .
