Annotation Outreach

New annotation groups:

The Swiss-Prot group in Geneva, headed by Amos Bairoch has committed to start contributing GO annotations from a large range of species 9 to 12 months from now. This is a major contribution, and will further help to fill in the annotation gap for those species that do not currently have MODs or funding for GO annotation.

Community annotation sets:

Paul Dobson of the University of Manchester (UK) contributed a very comprehensive and well researched set of GO-style annotations for drug transport gene products on rat, human and mouse. These have been passed on to the relevant MODs for conversion to actual GO annotations.

Annotation training in the community:

By its nature, annotation outreach involves staff members giving a number of talks and training sessions in the community. Highlights in this period are shown below.
