CBSE citation format

CBSE has requested that we standardise on the PubMed citation format throughout the genome browser.

Here is a link to the PubMed Journal Article Citation Format.

PubMed, in turn, uses the ANSI/NISO Z39.29-2005 Bibliographic References standard pdf as the basis for their format standards.

Here is a sample of the approved style:

Bejerano G, Lowe CB, Ahituv N, King B, Siepel A, Salama SR, Rubin EM, Kent WJ, Haussler D. A distal enhancer and an ultraconserved exon are derived from a novel retroposon. Nature. 2006 May 4;441(7089):87-90.

The Publications page in the genome browser has been updated to reflect this style. Please follow this style for all future citations used in the browser.

Details:

• If there are more than ten authors, list only the first 10 then use et al.
  • Nusbaum C, Zody MC, Borowsky ML, Kamal M, Kodira CD, Taylor TD, Whittaker CA, Chang JL, Cuomo CA, Dewar K et al. DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 18. Nature. 2005 Sep 22;437(7058):551-5.
