4. Gene names/descriptions/nomenclature [based on HGNC]

As far as chicken gene nomenclature we decided years ago to adopt the
human system, if possible

Crittenden LB, Bitgood JJ, Burt DW. (1995). In: Genetic Nomenclature
Guide - Chick. (Ed. A. Stewart). Trends in Genetics 11 (Suppl.), 33-34.

Crittenden LB, Bitgood JJ, Burt DW, Ponce de Leon FA, Tixier-Boichard M.
(1996). Nomenclature for naming loci, alleles, linkage groups and
chromosomes to be used in poultry genome publications and databases.
Genetics, Selection Evol. 28, 289-297.

Burt DW. (1999). In: Genetic Nomenclature Guide. Trends in Genetics,
November Supplement.


Also on a www link

HGNC: http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/guidelines.html

Chicken: http://poultry.mph.msu.edu/about/NOME1195.html

I think we should link up with HGNC?

This process is best linked to the GO process?
