HGNC Commercial Usage

Giving unique and meaningful names to every human gene

It is a condition of our funding by NIH and MRC that the nomenclature and information we provide is freely available to all. Reproduction for commercial purposes requires a commercial license, which is available free of charge. To obtain a commercial license, which is available free of charge, please contact Derek Reay d.reay@uclbiomedica.ucl.ac.uk of UCL Biomedica.

We also ask that you fully acknowledge the data source in any publication as:

HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), Department of Biology, University College London, Wolfson House, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, UK (http://www.genenames.org/).
[Type in precise URL, date (month, year) when you retrieved the data cited.]

Also, Entrez Gene should be given as an alternative free source of the same data.

Our database and website are well maintained with up-to-date information; in order to continue providing this service further funding will always be necessary.
