Annotation Call October 28, 2014

Agenda

FAQ on GO Website (get an account and write a FAQ)
Please volunteer to review papers, this is the best way to catch misrepresentation of GO in papers
We will work on getting stats on how much GO changes, why and what type of change

With column pipe vs comma change to match col-16 usage (pipe = OR and comma = AND), proposal has passed
- Next steps involve writing Specs for changing the GAF (we will introduce comma in the GAF), retrofitting annotations, announcements etc
ECO codes
- If you want add a new ECO term please request Chris for write access. Your new term will be committed but when Marcus reviews the term he will upgrade the term to be 'curator approved'
Catabolism, biosynthesis terms

(https://sourceforge.net/p/geneontology/ontology-requests/11253/) (cytokine production, glycoprotein synthesis, degradation of a protein is not catabolism and making is not metabolism. Protein maturation is also not biosynthesis.

- Talked a little bit about readout vs process studied (Rubidium transport)
- protein dimerization etc terms
- vacuole vs lysosome (we will keep both terms in the ontology, they are different)
IntACT complex annotations will be moved to a separate file (it is messing up term enrichment)
Annotating to the process term vs regulation of process term. We came up with a qualifier 'implicated in' to capture this OR situation.
Align relationships used in the ontology and col-16, better documentation.
