Rules for Genetic Symbols

摘要

a. Gene symbols will not be assigned to traits for which no inheritance data are presented. b. A gene symbol shall consist of a base of one to three letters, to which may be appended subscripts and/or superscripts as described below. Gene symbols may, however, be written on one line. c. Genes that are allelic shall be symbolized with the same base letter(s) so that each genetic locus will be designated by a characteristic symbol base.
