Abstract
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) has assigned unique gene symbols and names to more than 32,000 human loci, of which over 19,000 are protein coding. genenames.org is a curated online repository of HGNC-approved gene nomenclature and associated resources including links to genomic, proteomic and phenotypic information, as well as dedicated gene family pages. This site is the definitive resource to resolve gene name ambiguities. The URL links to the search results for Rbp3, which is both a deprecated synonym for the human E2F transcription factor 1, and the official name of retinol binding protein 3.

[ PubMed ] [ DOI ] The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) aims to assign a unique gene symbol and name to every human gene. The HGNC database currently contains almost 30,000 approved gene symbols, over 19,000 of which represent protein-coding genes. The public website, www.genenames.org, displays all approved nomenclature within Symbol Reports that contain data curated by HGNC editors and links to related genomic, phenotypic and proteomic information. Here we describe improvements to our resources, including a new Quick Gene Search, a new List Search, an integrated HGNC BioMart and a new Statistics and Downloads facility. |
