HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee)

The HGNC is responsible for approving unique symbols and names for human loci, including protein coding genes, ncRNA genes and pseudogenes, to allow unambiguous scientific communication.

Gene Information

This ingest uses HGNC's "complete set" download file, which only contains associations between publications and genes that are denoted in some way in the publication. We have selected to use a consistent high level term for 'publication' (IAO:0000311) as it is heterogeneous mix of publication types being referenced.

SO terms to populate the type are taken from the Alliance genome HGNC BGI files, provided by RGD.
