Gene nomenclature for bacterial surface polysaccharides is complicated by the large number of structures and genes. We propose a scheme applicable to all species that distinguishes different classes of genes, provides a single name for all genes of a given function and greatly facilitates comparative studies.
细菌表面多糖的基因命名因结构和基因数量众多而变得复杂。我们提出了一种适用于所有物种的方案,该方案能够区分不同类别的基因,为具有特定功能的所有基因提供单一名称,并且极大地促进了比较研究。
