Gene Reference into Function (GeneRIF)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeneRIF

 is a short (255 characters or fewer) statement about the function of a gene. GeneRIFs provide a simple mechanism for allowing scientists to add to the functional annotation of genes described in the Entrez Gene database.  Eg
  • p53 and c-erbB-2 may have independent role in carcinogenesis of gall bladder cancer
  •  Degradation of endogenous HIPK2 depends on the presence of a functional p53 protein.
