GeneRIF provides a simple mechanism to allow scientists to add to the functional annotation of genes described in Entrez Gene. To be processed, a valid Gene ID must exist for the specific gene, or the Gene staff must have assigned an overall Gene ID to the species. The latter case is implemented via records in Gene with the symbol NEWENTRY. Once the Gene ID is identified, only three types of information are required to complete a submission:
Access to the submission form is provided from the Bibliography section of the Entrez Gene default report view, so you don't have to retype the Gene ID or other identifiers (details below). GeneRIFs are intended to facilitate access to publications documenting experiments that add to our understanding of a gene and its function. Reports based solely on computational analyses are not in scope. To suggest CORRECTIONS or UPDATES for GeneRIFs, Reference Sequences, or Entrez Gene records, please use the separate update form. Sample GeneRIFs are provided here. The steps to submit a GeneRIF include:
Each submission is acknowledged using the e-mail address that was entered. The text of the GeneRIF is reviewed for inappropriate content and typographical errors, but is not otherwise edited. After review, newly-submitted GeneRIFs are included as soon as possible in the Bibliography section of the Entrez Gene report page. GeneRIFs are also available via FTP at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/gene/GeneRIF/. Statistics summarizing GeneRIF submissions, affected Entrez Gene records, and publications are available here.
