Hi Peng, We are aware of the push for naming conventions in the mouse community. A couple of the reasons you will find many, many genes that don't adhere to this rule in mm9.kgXref are:
- Many of these are probably names of genes first characterized in human so they inherit that name. - Many of them are license plate named genes (e.g. AK0006899), which don't fit the convention at all. We're building mm10 known genes right now and will be making tweaks to eliminate some of these aberrations, but we're not in charge of naming, we just assign names that the community uses. Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected] - Greg Roe UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 5/13/12 11:50 AM, Peng Yu wrote: > Hi, > > I see that SASH1 appears in mm9 kgXref.
