Gene names/descriptions/nomenclature [based on HGNC]

[Fiona McCarthy]

Hi Dave,

Thank you for raising the issue of chicken nomenclature amongst this group.

I  agree with you that the chicken nomenclature should be based on HGNC
guidelines, as outlined in the references you included below. This is the
model we are using for chicken nomenclature. We are currently working in
collaboration with HGNC to build a core database of chicken nomenclature
based on human orthologs.

I have sent an email to Ruth Lovering and Matt Wright at HGNC to let them
know about this discussion group. At this point, I will leave it to them
to fill in details regarding chicken nomenclature.

regards,
Fiona
