Download Human genes: italicized and all upper case when referring to human

Human genes: italicized and all upper case when referring to human genes;
Mouse genes: italicized and first letter upper case and the remainder lower case;
Protein names are the same as the gene symbol but not italicized and in all upper-case
letters, regardless of organism.
Inclusion of the approved nomenclature along with the common name (at least on first
usage) will minimize confusion. For example, p38 can ambiguously refer to several
different genes, including Ahsa1, Grap2, Syp, and Aimp2, as well as Mapk14.
Approved gene names can be found here: http://www.genenames.org/
or from PubMed using the “Gene” dropdown in the search field.
Plasmid names: use the accepted plasmid name (e.g. pWPI; note the lowercase p=
plasmid) followed by the protein and tag names in the sequence they appear. Again,
abbreviations are fine, but define them first.
shRNA: Use the format shGeneName-# (e.g. shDLG1-8) or shCommonName-# (e.g.
shPKCi-20).
