GUIDELINES FOR MAKING ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO PDE DATABASE

  1. Anyone wanting to make a correction or addition to the PDE database should contact one of the Nomenclature Committee members.

  2. In general, in order for new data to be considered, either cDNA or primary sequence information should be provided to the committee. It is greatly encouraged that the data already be accepted in a peer reviewed journal before submission to the database. This might most commonly occur during the time between when the manuscript is accepted and when it is published. It is also greatly encouraged for the person submitting the data to include a protein sequence alignment to the PDE(s) to which it is most closely related. A sample alignment is available for comparison.

  3. All requests for new data entry or for changes will be forwarded by email to the committee members for discussion. After discussion, a vote will be taken. A majority vote is sufficient for a change to be made or a new entry to be listed.
