Agenda
IDA or IEP for an isoform annotation
Recently Karen was annotating a paper where an isoform-agnostic antibody was used to detect the presence of a protein in a cell. Subsequent experiments showed that an RNA coding for a specific isoform had the same localization, supporting that the protein isoform was localized to that component. The question came up as to whether we should use IDA or IEP for evidence to support this. Since the experiment did not address the protein isoform itself, is it an IDA?
Also worth noting that if we decide that this is IEP, we will need to change the rules on the validation script that checks GAFs since IEP is currently only allowed for Process annotations.
