摘要:

为准确编辑生物信息学稿件,对目前科技期刊生物信息学稿件中最常见的一些既有关联又有区别的名词用法错误进行了辨析。结果表明:生物信息学稿件中常见的基因、蛋白质、核苷酸序列、氨基酸序列、同源性、亲缘关系等名词的使用及其表述经常有误甚至有歧义;同时对基因和蛋白质的符号表达错误进行了辨析,虽然有90%的科技期刊中基因符号已用斜体字母表达,但其中还是有很多基因符号尤其以基因命名的引物名称以及重组质粒中的基因符号未能用斜体字母表达。该研究结果可为科技期刊编辑掌握生物信息学稿件中最基本的一些名词的使用及其表述提供参考。

Abstract:

In order to edit the bioinformatics manuscripts accurately, we analyzed errors in application of the nouns both different and related in bioinformatics used in scientific journals. Our results showed that there were many errors even ambiguity in description of the basic terms in bioinformatics articles in scientific journals, including gene, protein, nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence, homology, and phylogenetic relationship. Also, analysis of incorrect expression of some gene and protein symbols revealed that some gene symbols were not expressed by an italic type, especially the primers named with the gene or the recombinant plasmids, although the gene symbols had been expressed in italics in 90% scientific journals to show the differences between gene and protein. The findings can provide reference for journal editors to understand of the meaning and correct expression of some basic terms in biotechnological articles.

Key words: science and technology journal, bioinformatics, gene, protein
