Display of Gene Name Evidence

• We were contacted by a user who felt our gene name evidence displayed in the Overview widget is misleading/wrong
• Discussion with Tim and Paul D. on the genenames mailing list confirms that this information actually refers to who named the gene class, not each individual gene
  • Is the gene name evidence still worth displaying?
  • If yes, can we be more accurate and change the wording to 'Gene class originator' or 'Gene class evidence'?
  • Magda, Paul D., Karen will meet with Tim to come up with some solutions of gene naming information tracking.
