It is appropriate to cite the RefSeq accession number and the RefSeq Handbook chapter. Ideally any accession cited should indicate both the accession and version number. For example: NCBI Accession NM_000001.1 Please cite the NCBI Handbook as follows: • To cite the whole Handbook: The NCBI handbook [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; 2002 Oct. Available from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books • To cite the RefSeq chapter (Chapter 18): The NCBI handbook [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; 2002 Oct. Chapter 18, The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) Project. Available from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books For your reference, one web site that lists a number of Citation Guides for Electronic Documents is: http://www.ifla.org/I/training/citation/citing.htm.
