Genetics nomenclature

Genetic nomenclature well established with extensive lists of individual strains and their properties... 

Genetic nomenclature rules often ignored. No listings of stock characteristics. 

Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice (1972) Standard karyotype of the mouse, Mus musculus. Journal of Heredity 63 69-72. 

Proteins include the enzyme molecules that carry out many of the biological reactions we study, and their sequences are an intrinsic part of the submission process. Their importance, which is discussed in Chapter 2, is also reflected in the submission process, and this information must be captured for representation in the various databases. Also important are the protein product and gene names, if these are known. There are a variety of resources (many present in the lists that conclude these chapters) that offer the correct gene nomenclature for many organisms (cf. Genetic nomenclature guide, Trends in Genetics, 1998). 

The lUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (13) recommends that the term vitamin B 2 be used as the genetic descriptor for aU. cottiaoids exhibiting quaUtatively the biological activity of cyanocobalamin. However, because of its commercial importance, cyaaocobalamin is used iaterchangeably with vitamin B 2 heteia. 

Gerlai 1996,2001). In such cases, animals have to be crossed with a pure inbred strain (commonly C57BL/6J hnes) for at least 6-8 generations (backcrossing). For correct interpretation of data obtained in genetically modified mice it is indispensable to follow the strict rules of strain nomenclature (Wotjak 2003). 

Genetic variants of these fragments have not been specifically identified. " Nomenclature has not been established for these fragments. 

The ADSA Protein Nomenclature Committee (Eigel et al. 1984) recommends that these minor K-caseins be identified temporarily according to their genetic variant and numbered consecutively in their order of increasing relative electrophoretic mobility in alkaline urea gels in the presence of mercaptoethanol (Yaguchi et al 1968) as K-casein A-l or K-casein B-l, etc.
