The Routing Policy Specification Language RPSL is a language commonly used by Internet Service Provider ISP s to describe their routing policies. The routing policies are stored at various whois databases including RIPE , RADB and APNIC . ISPs using automated tools then generate router configuration files that match their business and technical policies. RFC 2622 describes RPSL, and replaced RIPE 181. RFC 2650 provides a reference tutorial to using RPSL in the real world. RPSL has been extended with RPSL NG RPSL Next Generation effort to support IPv6 routing policies and multicast routing policies. RPSL NG is defined in RFC 4012.

An Internet Routing Registry IRR is a database of Internet route objects for determining, and sharing route and related information used for configuring routers, with a view to avoiding problematic issues between Internet service providers . The Internet routing registry works by providing an interlinked hierarchy of objects designed to facilitate the organization of IP routing between organizations, and also to provide data in an appropriate format for automatic programming of routers. Network engineers from participating organizations are authorized to modify the Routing Policy Specification Language RPSL objects, in the registry, for their own networks. Then, any network engineer, or member of the public, is able to query the route registry for particular information of interest.

Orphan date February 2009 Bacterial genetic nomenclature is a set of generally accepted rules and conventions used for naming bacteria l gene s. Standards for were proposed in 1966 by Demerec et al. ref Demerec M et al. 1966 A proposal for a uniform nomenclature in bacterial genetics. Genetics 54 61 76 ref . General rules Each bacterial gene is denoted by a mnemonic of three lower case letters which indicate the pathway or process in which the gene product is involved, followed by a capital letter signifying the actual gene. In some cases, the gene letter may be followed by an allele number. All letters and numbers are underlined or italicised. For example, leuA is one of the genes of the leucine biosynthetic pathway, and leuA273 is a particular allele of this gene. Where the actual protein coded by the gene is known then it may become part of the basis of the mnemonic, thus rpoA encodes the subunit of R NA po lymerase rpoB encodes the subunit of R NA po lymerase polA encodes DNA pol ymerase I polC encodes DNA pol ymerase III rpsL encodes r ibosomal p rotein, s mall S12 Some gene designations refer to a known general function dna is involved in DNA replication Common Mnemonics Biosynthetic Genes Loss of gene activity leads to a nutritional requirement auxotrophy not exhibited by the wildtype prototrophy .
