Nomenclature for Physical Mapping of Complex Genomes.

摘要

Among these issues, that of establishing nomenclature conventions, was seen to be fundamental to the development of useful data management systems and essential for the orderly and efficient development of such systems. Therefore, the present workshop was convened, as the first in the recommended series, to identify the issues involved in establishing nomenclature standards and to develop a set of recommendations for such standards. This report summarizes the proceedings of the workshop and lays out specific proposals for naming DNA entities for physical mapping. The scientific community should discuss and develop these proposals so that naming conventions can be established. The proposals apply specifically to human DNA entities; however, the relevance to nomenclature in other systems should be part of the broader discussion. 13 refs.
