Interesting question and one we've been discussing in other contexts. HGNC is only valid for human genes of course, and not all species have this type of sign off on ids. I would use an Ensembl id, from there you can get other id cross references best Helen On 10/11/2010 10:24, Christoph Grabmuller wrote: > On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 4:45 PM, mdmiller<mdmiller53@comcast.net> wrote: >> this i've seen as more a de facto best practice than anything for >> identifying a sequence (but i'm not sure what you mean by a standard input >> format). > I meant: what are valid and/or (minimally) required ways to refer to a > gene?
