Hi everybody,
Don't miss our monthly webinar TOMORROW, Feb. 5th, at 12 PM CDT. David Molik and Adam Wright from the Genome Assembly and Annotation Nomenclature working group will present their recent publication ( https://doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iyaf006) and recommendations on gene and genome nomenclature.
I have included more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend the webinar below.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:* *Guidelines for Gene and Genome Assembly Nomenclature (GAAN)* Clear and informative naming schemes enhance the utility of genome assemblies and gene annotations. We present a comprehensive nomenclature framework which incorporates species, sequencing group, colony/breed/strain, version, and other critical metadata in a well-structured format. This approach aligns with standards from AgBioData discussions and ensures compatibility with major repositories such as those in the INSDC. To facilitate adoption, we developed the Gene and Genome Assembly Nomenclature (GAAN) tool for validating names under these guidelines. Future iterations of GAAN will integrate external databases like the Darwin Tree of Life Identifiers and the Vertebrate Breed Ontology for further validation.
