title: Rules and guidelines for nomenclature of mouse genes. International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice.
abstract: Guidelines for mouse genetic nomenclature were developed in the 1940s and have been revised several times since. The most recent revision was completed by the International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature in Mice. The basic rules for naming and symbolizing mouse mutant genes and polymorphic loci are summarized here with reference to sources of the complete rules for genes, strains and chromosomal anomalies.
