VGNC

Vertebrate Gene Nomenclature Committee
Description

The Vertebrate Gene Nomenclature Committee (VGNC) is an extension of the established HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee) project that names human genes. VGNC is responsible for assigning standardized names to genes in selected vertebrate species that lack a nomenclature authority; currently these are chimpanzee, macaque, dog, cat, cattle, pig and horse. The VGNC also coordinates with the existing vertebrate nomenclature committees, MGNC (mouse), RGNC (rat), CGNC (chicken), XNC (Xenopus frog) and ZNC (zebrafish), to ensure genes are named in line with their human homologs.
