Signaling Metrics

Aims of the Signaling Project

  • To revise and overhaul the signaling terms in GO, including those in process, function and component, and to connect up the signaling terms in various parts of the ontology.
  • The signaling project was initiated by Jennifer Deegan, who worked with David Hill and subsequently a signaling working group. When Jen went on maternity leave in March 2010, Rebecca Foulger took over co-ordination of the signaling working group. This wiki reflects the work and ideas from both stages of the project.
  • Here is an overview of where the signaling project is upto in May 2011.


High Level Organization of the Signaling Node

  • Revising the signaling terms in GO required rearranging the high-level organization of the signaling node, to connect up the signaling terms that were scattered across the ontology and organize them in a more consistent way. Below are links to the ideas and discussions on the structure from Jen and the SWG's work:

In brief:

  • The top level signaling term used to be 'signal transduction', under which were housed the signaling pathway term.
  • In phase I of the signaling revisions, the node was split into signaling pathways and signaling processes (commited March 2010).
  • By September 2010 it was clear that the process/pathway split was not working for annotation and was removed. The node instead was split into cellular, multicellular organism, and multiorganism signaling.

A summary of the high-level changes that have been put in place for the signaling terms is presented here


Signaling Nomenclature

A summary of signaling nomenclature to describe how GO uses the phrases 'pathway' 'cascade' 'signal transduction', and how signaling fits in with the response terms, etc.


Glossary Of Signaling Terms

At the February 2011 Signaling workshop, it was agreed that GO will create a Signaling Glossary for terms and phrases that are commonly used in signaling term names, definitions and comments (but aren't actually GO terms themselves) to allow them to be standardized.

Community Input

If you have particular areas of expertise in signaling, or have general suggestions on how the terms could be improved then please add your name and brief details on the Community Input page

In preparation for the signaling workshop at the EBI in February 2011, three experts were also recruited, who are happy to provide feedback to the working group:

  • Dr Andrea Townsend-Nicholson, UCL
  • Dr Andrew Winter, BioGRID
  • Dr Andrew Chatry-aramontri, BioGRID
