Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Style guidelines

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

Protein and gene articles
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.

Cell type info box
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.

Database templates
Templates like this for the Protein databases, Enzyme Number and PubMed. You'll find these very useful when citing your sources.

Protein topics navigation boxes
See User:Lilious for how to jazz up such navigation boxes.

Templates:

Project banner template
Wikiproject MCB – A simple project banner template to mark articles that are part of this project. It serves, in part, as advertising for the project. It is to placed on the talk page of any articles of interest to this wikiproject.
