MIDN
Description
The MIDN (midnolin) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
A midshipman is an entry-level officer in the Royal Navy, United States Navy, and many Commonwealth navies. The term originated in the 17th century from the amidships area of a ship, where midshipmen worked or were berthed. Initially, it referred to experienced seamen, but by the 18th century, it transitioned to an officer candidate rank. During the Napoleonic era (1793-1815), a midshipman was an apprentice officer who served at least three years as a volunteer, officer's servant, or able seaman. Following this period, they could take the examination for lieutenant, although promotion was not automatic. In the 19th century, naval officer training shifted from apprenticeship aboard ships to formal schooling in naval colleges. The term 'midshipman' began to refer to an officer cadet at a naval college.
MIDN is also known as Stx.
