Notes:
1. column names with a prefix of cc indicate a corresponding entry in the common code
table. This allows display of a field to vary with the user's language
2. For the most part, a length of 12 characters suffices for gene names. An opportunity
for a standard. Note that some thought might be given to representation in other
alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew and the vast family of Brahmic scripts as well
as logographic scripts such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
