Talk:Sust

Sust or Sost
The title of the article uses "Sust", but the text uses "Sost". Which is correct? ChemNerd (talk) 17:43, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think either is definitively "the" correct spelling. This is a case of needing an R from alternative spelling.
 * Here is a discussion I had on the matter in February 2015, transcluded from my talk archives:


 * commons:Category:Sost (Pakistan)
 * commons:Category:Sost Dry Port
 * Sost Dry Port

Why is it SOST gene and not sost gene? Is SOST an acronym; if so, what does it stand for? I can't find anyone who bothers to explain that. It seems to be consistently spelled in all-caps. So why do you think people will link or search for SOST (gene) in lower case? – wbm1058 (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The capitalization convention for genes is based on standards, e.g. see species-specific guidelines. For humans, that's generally all caps. For other species, it could be all lowercase (e.g., zebrafish and frog). If those species are well-studied, someone could be searching for sost the gene. I hope that's helpful.
