Letter to the editor Revised guidelines gene for nomenclature COGNOSAG ad hoc committee (Received 6 August 1994; accepted 19 October 1994) Summary - The earlier guidelines proposed by COGNOSAG have been revised to modate all ruminants, gene mapping and cloned loci, and to facilitate the development of a genome nomenclature consistent as far as possible with other species. Résumé - Règles de nomenclature des gènes des ruminants 1993. Il s’agit d’une la nomenclature génique des ruminants. On s’est efforcé de les rendre applicables à tous les gènes cartographiés et clonés et de faciliter le développement d’une nomenclature interspécifique homogène. tre, Rosedale, South Australia, are based on earlier proposals from COGNOSAG Workshops at Gontard/Manosque France, July 1986 and July 1987 (Lauvergne and Searle; 1988; Alexieva et al, 1989), and Eu- gene/Oregon, June 1989 (Alexieva et al, 1990) and Gontard/Manosque, July 1991 (Andresen et al, 1991). 1 COGNOSAG L Di Stasio, Hill, AL C DP Nicholas, Rae, Renieri, Sponenberg Workshop in October 1993 by E Andresen, CHS JJ Lau- M DF Dolling, Fleet, and EM Correspondence: JJ Lauvergne, Secretary of COGNOSAG, CRJ/INRA, 78352 Jouy-en- Josas cedex, France; or CHS Dolling, President of COGNOSAG, Box 74, McLaren Vale, 3 Dedicated to the memory of Bent Larsen, member of the COGNOSAG, died 1992.  core of these revised guidelines consists of the 1991 proposals (Andresen et al, 1991). Their re-wording has been undertaken to reduce their length, and to increase their clarity. The earlier recommendations to limit the length of symbols of loci and alleles to a maximum of 5 and 4 characters, respectively, has been relaxed. The designation of top dominant and codominant alleles by a capital initial letter has been undertaken to assist in the recognition of alleles with visible effects. Thus, the changes made are intended
