Rat Genome Database Cardiovascular Portal for Rat, Human and Mouse genes


A Cardiovascular annotation group has formed to focus on the annotation of genes associated with Heart development and Cardiovascular processes.

We have defined a list gene products of highest interest to Cardiovascular researchers (see Defining CV-associated gene list for more information). The initial set of 2538 genes has been posted on the Cardiovascular Gene Page. However this list has been extended to over 4000 genes and we have prioritized 250 of these genes for annotation in the first year (see Priority Cardiovascular genes for this list).

We would be grateful for any suggestions from cardiovascular scientists on the genes that should be included in either the full gene list or the priority gene list. There is a community input section on these pages for this purpose.

We would also be grateful for any annotation information, such as publications or missing terms which could be included in the annotation of these genes. These suggestions can either be sent by email to GOannotation@ucl.ac.uk or goa@ebi.ac.uk or added to gene specific wiki pages, accessed from the following pages:

Background and Instructions

Along with annotating genes associated with cardiovascular processes we are also creating new GO terms. Please use these links for a full list of cardivascular relevant GO term requests, or open cardiovascular relevant GO term requests. You will need to register with SouceForge to access these pages, which is a simple process. Once registered you will be able to comment on these new GO terms.
