Abstract

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. The HGNC database (www.genenames.org) currently contains over 43 000 approved gene symbols, over 19 200 of which are assigned to protein-coding genes, 14 000 to pseudogenes and nearly 9000 to non-coding RNA genes. The public website, www.genenames.org, displays all approved nomenclature within Symbol Reports that contain data curated by HGNC nomenclature advisors and links to related genomic, clinical, and proteomic information. Here, we describe updates to our resource, including improvements to our search facility and new download features.
