Curated list of gene names and product descriptions that pass NCBI genome submission rules.

gene2product

Curated list of gene names and product descriptions that pass NCBI genome submission rules. Used by funannotate during eukaryotic genome annotation.

I hope this is a "community" project where we can keep a list of gene names and their product definitions that pass NCBI requirements. The funannotate annotate script will generate a list of gene names/product deflines that pass tbl2asn but are not in the database, to contribute you can do a PR of this repository.

1. Fork this repository
2. run update-gene2product.py Gene2Products.new-names-passed.txt
3. do a Pull Request with your update

Important:

While a product definition may pass tbl2asn, it doesn't mean that the description is great. Please at least manually glance at the names/product deflines that are in the Gene2Products.new-names-passed.txt file prior to doing a PR, there are likely a few manual tweaks that can be quickly done to improve the product defline.

Extra Credit:

funannotate annotate will also produce a file named Gene2Products.need-curating.txt, these are names/deflines that need manual curation. If you manually curate these data, please validate that they pass tbl2asn prior to adding them to your PR.

Thanks!
