We are delighted to announce that we have been included in the list of Global Core Biodata Resources (GCBRs) by the Global Biodata Coalition (GBC). This recognises us as a resource that is “crucial for sustaining [Read more]
Figure 1. A summary of the gene nomenclature for the AVPR2 subfamily agreed across the vertebrate nomenclature committees.
Gene nomenclature is an essential aspect of scientific communication in biology, and has multiple functions. A gene name ideally tells us something about the gene or gene product; this might be [Read more]
Have you spotted the new logo in the footer of our website yet? We recently applied to be recognized by the Global Biodata Coalition as a core biodata resource, and are very pleased to have been accepted.
The Global Core Biodata Resources (GCBRs) have been identified as key [Read more]
