Genetics nomenclature, mouse.
In: Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics: Second Edition. Array, 2013. 271-275
The matchless identification of mouse genes or genetic locus is critical in research and in literature to avoid misleading. With this notion in mind, the Mouse Genome and Nomenclature Committee is carrying out the implementation of the mouse nomenclature rules and guidelines. The major aim is to assign unique identifiers to each gene (structural, mitochondrial, nuclear tRNA and rRNA genes); genetic locus (ESTs, mapped genomic DNA fragments, microRNAs, and DNA variants); and chromosomal anomalies and mutations (mutant phenotypes, allelic variations, gene-trap loci, SNPs, and spontaneous and induced mutations). A background in the field and potential controversy are discussed; a summary of the rules and guidelines are given with examples as well.
