While working on a microarray experiement with a researcher, we had to find a bit of information about a gene with the gene symbol NCOA3. We went to the Ensembl web site (www.ensembl.org) and did a search which yielded the following information.
2. Ensembl Gene: ENSG00000124151
Ensembl gene ENSG00000124151 has 3 transcripts: ENST00000262979, ENST00000340189, ENST00000341724 and associated peptides: ENSP00000262979, ENSP00000342123, ENSP00000345671

I want to use this example as an excuse to try to document the various naming conventions used in genetics.<U+FFFD> As you can see from my previous weblog entries, this is something I have tried to do in the past, but have just been too busy to follow-up on.
