HGNClisted
HGNClisted is a human gene nomenclature resource that provides a curated and approved list of human gene symbols and names. It is managed by the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). The primary goal of HGNC is to assign a unique and meaningful symbol and name to every human gene. This standardization is crucial for clear communication in genetics and genomics research, facilitating database curation, literature indexing, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The HGNC database is updated regularly to reflect new gene discoveries and revisions to existing gene nomenclature.
