Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology/Molecular and Cell Biology/Style guidelines

The guidelines for creating diagrams for the project can be found in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Diagram Guide.

The scope of a gene/protein article is the human gene/protein (included all splice variants derived from that gene) as well as orthologs (as listed in HomoloGene) that exist in other species. If there are paralogs in humans (and by extension other species), then a family article in addition to the gene/protein specific article (see for example dopamine receptor) would be appropriate.

This will be an information box for displaying basic information about individual cell types.
List of distinct cell types in the adult human body

Some useful references:

• open source cell type ontology project
• http://www.bioeng.auckland.ac.nz/anatml/anatml/database/cells/cells/index.html
• Cell types from Dorland's Medical Dictionary

Basic info could be, name(s), functions, what taxonomic groups has the cell type, etc.
Tissue type(s) that contain the cell type
The major types of proteins that are expressed and that provide the specialized functions of the cell type

I suggest we pick one cell type as an example and get started. I propose skeletal muscle.
