HGNC suggested "Instructions to Authors" | |

| ||||||||
| Giving unique and meaningful names to every human gene | ||||||||
Below is the information we would suggest you include in the "Instructions to Authors" section of your journal:
Approved human gene symbols should be obtained prior to submission from the
HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire CB10
1SA, UK fax: +44 (0)1223 494468,
email:hgnc@genenames.org.
Approved mouse nomenclature should be obtained prior to submission from the Mouse Genome Nomenclature Committee (MGNC), The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine 04609-0800, USA; tel: 01-207-288-6429; fax: 01-207-288-6132;
email:nomen@informatics.jax.org.
The following paragraph of background information can be included where desired:
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is responsible for approving and implementing unique human gene symbols and names, and works closely with the Mouse Genome Database and other organism databases. Considerable efforts are made to approve symbols acceptable to workers in the field, but sometimes it is not possible to use exactly what has previously appeared in the literature. In such cases the previously used symbols are listed as aliases for the approved nomenclature in the HGNC database and Entrez Gene, to allow retrieval of all the information available for each gene.
