GO overview

An introduction to the GO ontology : terms, definitions, synonyms, relationships, cross-products. Jane Lomax

  • Inter-ontology links
    • Most tools don't make inferences across the ontoogies. Make redundant annotations.
    • Cross products
      • between GO ontologies
      • external ontologies (cell ontology; CHEBI)
  • Ontology development
    • large scale targeted projects
    • logical consistency
    • small scale requests (Sourceforge tracker; future via Amigo)

Q/A: classical relationships (e.g. part_of within an ontology) are subset of cross-products.

Annotation Process

  • General overview of the annotation guidelines used by GO, and contributing resources. Rama Balakrishnan
    • Annotation guidelines

Goal:say as much as possible about a gene product. Be useful to bench and computational biologists.

    • GO annotation: Gene product association with GO terms and other info.
      • Core
        • gene product identifiers
        • GO term
        • Reference
        • Evidence code
      • Additional info
        • qualifiers
        • with/from
        • Annotation detail (16)
        • Isoform
    • Sources
      • Manual
      • Automated
      • PAINT (new)
        • inter-ontology inferences (new)
  • General overview UniProtKB/SwissProt manual annotation. Serenella (15 min)
