Gene nomenclature by default, or BLASTing to Babel
Human Genomics, 2005 The current proliferation of mammalian genomes is creating a nomenclature issue caused by naming genes based on their best BLAST hit to a gene in another annotated genome.

Changing the name of the NBPF/DUF1220 domain to the Olduvai domain [PDF]
, 2017 We are jointly proposing a new name for a protein domain of approximately 65 amino acids that has been previously termed NBPF or DUF1220. Our two labs independently reported the initial studies of this domain, which is encoded almost entirely within a ...

BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Based on an initial collecting of database sequences from the gap junction protein gene family (also called connexin genes) in a few teleosts, the naming of these sequences appeared variable. The reasons could be (i) that the structure in this

Semi-automated curation of protein subcellular localization: a text mining-based approach to Gene Ontology (GO) Cellular Component curation [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Manual curation of experimental data from the biomedical literature is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor. Nevertheless, most biological knowledge bases still rely heavily on manual curation for data extraction and entry.

Proposal of a new nomenclature for introns in protein-coding genes in fungal mitogenomes
IMA Fungus, 2019 Fungal mitochondrial genes are often invaded by group I or II introns, which represent an ideal marker for understanding fungal evolution. A standard nomenclature of mitochondrial introns is needed to avoid confusion when comparing different fungal ...

RGST - Rat Gene Symbol Tracker, a database for defining official rat gene symbols
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background The names of genes are central in describing their function and relationship. However, gene symbols are often a subject of controversy. In addition, the discovery of mammalian genes is now so rapid that a proper use of gene symbol nomenclature

The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]
, 2017 We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both \u3b1- and \u3b2-strands.
