Selenoprotein gene nomenclature [PDF]

J Biol Chem, 2016
The human genome contains 25 genes coding for selenocysteine-containing proteins (selenoproteins). These proteins are involved in a variety of functions, most notably redox homeostasis.

The VGNC: expanding standardized vertebrate gene nomenclature [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2023
The Vertebrate Gene Nomenclature Committee (VGNC) was established in 2016 as a sister project to the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee, to approve gene nomenclature in vertebrate species without an existing dedicated nomenclature committee.

Naming the alpha-2-macroglobulin gene family across vertebrates [PDF]

Human Genomics
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes and its sister project, the Vertebrate Gene Nomenclature Committee (VGNC), names genes across selected vertebrates (chimp, macaque, horse, cattle, pig, dog, cat ...

The importance of being the HGNC

Human Genomics, 2022
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) has been providing standardized symbols and names for human genes since the late 1970s. As funding agencies change their priorities, finding financial support for critical biomedical resources such as the HGNC ...

The bridge-like lipid transfer protein (BLTP) gene group: introducing new nomenclature based on structural homology indicating shared function

Human Genomics, 2022
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. The use of approved nomenclature enables effective communication between researchers, and there are multiple examples of how the usage of unapproved alias symbols can ...

A unified nomenclature for vertebrate olfactory receptors

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Olfactory receptors (ORs) are G protein-coupled receptors with a crucial role in odor detection. A typical mammalian genome harbors ~ 1000 OR genes and pseudogenes; however, different gene duplication/deletion events have occurred in each ...
