A method () for standardizing gene nomenclature, comprising: (i) receiving () a source; (ii) tokenizing () the source; (iii) comparing () a first token to a prefix tree structure with a root node, edges, and leaf nodes; (iv) determining () which edge extending from the root node to associated first leaf nodes the first token matches; (v) updating () an identification pointer with the location of the first leaf node; (vi) determining () which of one or more edges that a second token matches; (vii) updating () the identification pointer with the location of the second leaf node; (viii) repeating () the determining () and updating () steps with subsequent tokens until a subsequent token fails to match an edge extending from a leaf node or there is no edge extending from the leaf node; and (ix) providing () an identification of a canonical gene name.
