The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) assigns approved gene symbols to human loci. There are currently over 33,000 approved gene symbols, the majority of which represent protein-coding genes, but we also name other locus types such as non-coding RNAs, pseudogenes and phenotypic loci. Where relevant, the HGNC organise these genes into gene families and groups. The HGNC website http://www.genenames.org/ is an online repository of HGNC-approved gene nomenclature and associated resources for human genes, and includes links to genomic, proteomic and phenotypic information. In addition to this, we also have dedicated gene family web pages and are currently expanding and generating more of these pages using data curated by the HGNC and from information derived from external resources that focus on particular gene families. Here, we review our current online resources with a particular focus on our gene family data, using it to highlight our new Gene Symbol Report and gene family data downloads.

Worldwide authority that approves standardized nomenclature to gene name and symbol, short form abbreviation, for each known human gene and stores all approved symbols in HGNC database. Approved human gene nomenclature. Database of gene symbols. Manually curated genes into family sets based on shared characteristics such as homology, function or phenotype. Data for protein-coding genes, pseudogenes, non-coding RNAs, phenotypes and genomic features.
View all literature mentionsPublic bibliographic database that provides access to citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. PubMed citations and abstracts include fields of biomedicine and health, covering portions of life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. Provides access to additional relevant web sites and links to other NCBI molecular biology resources. Publishers of journals can submit their citations to NCBI and then provide access to full-text of articles at journal web sites using LinkOut.
View all literature mentionsCiteXplore combines literature search with text mining tools for biology. Search results are cross referenced to EBI applications based on publication identifiers. Links to full text versions are provided where available. The underlying database is populated with data from Medline, Patents, C.B.A. and Citeseer. The site offers a quick search as well as an advanced search. Results of queries can be saved in formats compatible with commonly-used bibliographic management software and exported. We provide a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based service to retrieve data from the Citation database. Text mining is provided internally by Whatizit and externally by iHOP.
