A proposed naming convention for genes in Rosaceae species [abstract]. 7th International Rosaceae Genomics Conference Program and Abstracts. p. 77. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: In the last few years, a considerable effort has yielded the complete genome sequence of four key Rosaceae species: Apple, Strawberry, Peach, and Pear with more to come. With this genomic information, it is now possible to identify gene family members rapidly and through other genomic technologies, such as mRNA-seq, to identify and test gene function. This has greatly accelerated the pace at which research is done. As currently, only a few of the 30,000 - 60,000 predicted genes in the genome have been described in each of these species, the Rosaceae community has a unique opportunity to standardize gene names within and across the Rosaceae species. This paper aims to propose a naming convention to be used to simplify the literature around naming genes in this group of species. |
