SGD Help: Locus History
|
Contents
The Locus History page displays the history of a particular locus
or feature in SGD. This includes information about the gene names,
the sequence annotation, mapping data, and other SGD curator
notes. The type of information included on the Locus History page
varies according to the status of the gene name ("Reserved"
v. "Standard") and the amount of information currently available.
Centered, at the top of the page, is a hyperlink back to the locus
page for the gene or feature.
The Locus History page may have one or more of the following sections, depending on the amount of information available about a particular locus:
Nomenclature History
This section displays nomenclature information, and may include one of
the following subsections, depending on the status of the gene name, and the information available:
- Reserved Name: For reserved gene names, the date that the gene was reserved as well as
the date that the reservation expires are displayed in this section. In addition,
colleague(s) who reserved the gene name (or otherwise serve as
contacts) are listed under the Contacts heading, and any
unpublished references are hyperlinked under the Reference sections
- Standard Name: For standard gene names, the information
displayed may vary.
- If the gene name was standardized prior to 2000, then this
section is unlikely to appear.
- If the gene name was standardized in 2000 or later, and/or the
first published reference is annotated in SGD, then the standard
gene and reference will be displayed.
- If the gene name was standardized in 2000 or later, but the
first published reference is not annotated in SGD, then the
standard gene name and the date it was standardized will be
displayed.
Nomenclature History Note
This section displays any additional information regarding
nomenclature, along with the date that note was made. Information
displayed here may include:
- documentation of gene name changes
- documentation of reserved names that were withdrawn and/or never
published
- descriptions of names that have been used to refer to more
than one gene.
-
Sequence Annotation Notes
This section is used to document any sequence and/or annotation
changes that have been made in the reference strain and that directly
affect this gene by altering the start, stop, intron structure, or
amino acid sequence.
Mapping Notes
Notes and references for the mapping of this gene.
Other Notes
This section may contain a variety of information relevant to this
gene or feature, that does not fit
easily into the categories detailed above.
