I am looking for a standardized vocabulary or naming convention for gene fusion products. Don't see in entrezgene. Does anyone know of a standardized naming convention? Thanks in advance.

They are generally represented as gene1-gene2 (5 to 3 prime) : For example : BCR-ABL1 fusion, EML4-ALK fusion etc...

Wiki : "These are usually either noted with a dash, as in trp-lac or lamB-lacZ. Sometimes the fusion is generated via an insertion vector, in which case the insertion designation may be used. "
