TL;DR: The cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene superfamily is summarized and complete identification of all pseudogene sequences is likely to be clinically important, because some of these highly similar exons can interfere with PCR-based genotyping assays.

TL;DR: This revised nomenclature accommodates functional genes and pseudogenes, and although designed specifically for the full complement of human keratins, it offers the flexibility needed to incorporate additional keratin proteins from other mammalian species.

TL;DR: By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenClature for the mammalian long-chain acyclic synthetases.

TL;DR: A revised nomenclature for mammalian acyl-CoA thioesterases/hydrolases has been suggested for the 12 member family, with the family root symbol is ACOT, with human genes named ACOT1–ACOT12, and rat and mouse genes named Acot1–Acot12.

TL;DR: Using the current genome builds, sequence analysis of human, mouse, and rat α-tubulin genes has enabled an updated nomenclature to be generated and provides a unified language for the discussion of these genes in mammalian species.
