Agenda

Meeting Reminder

  • Next Consortium Meeting: June 1-3, 2017 in Corvallis, Oregon
  • Noctua Workshop on June 4th
  • Reactome Workshop on June 5th

Qualifiers and Relations in GO

  • Qualifiers are used in GAF and GPAD
  • Relations are used in GPAD, Annotation Extensions, and LEGO models
    • In GPAD, the explicit relations between a gene/gene product and GO terms are ontology-specific:
      • involved_in a BP
      • enables a MF
      • part_of a CC
    • Annotation extension relations 'extend' the meaning of the GO term, providing additional biological context
    • In LEGO models, relations describe the context in which activities (GO MFs) occur and how activities relate to one another

New Relations for Modifying a Gene's Role in a Biological Process

Link to github Discussion

  • This issue is about adding more relations to the list that curators currently use to describe the relationship between a gene/gene product and a BP GO term, again, with the overall goal being a more accurate representation of biology.
  • We have talked about doing something like this for some time wrt conventional annotations, and we need them to translate LEGO annotations back to GPAD/GAF formats.
  • The current proposal is to add the following relations to the 'qualifier' column of GAF and GPAD to better describe the relationship between a gene product and a GO term:
    • acts_upstream_of_or_within
      • acts_upstream_of
        • involved_in_regulation_of
      • involved_in_or_involved_in_regulation_of
        • involved_in
        • involved_in_regulation_of
          • involved_in_negative_regulation_of
          • involved_in_positive_regulation_of
  • Note the differences between the relations for GAF/GPAD and the relations used in LEGO models due to the nature of what is being related, i.e. gene to GO term in the former and GO term to another GO term in LEGO.
    • Example translation:
      • LEGO: 'causally upstream of'
      • GAF/GPAD: 'acts upstream of'
  • For discussion:
    • Use of 'within' vs 'involved_in'
      • 'within' is used in the top level relation, but 'involved_in' in child terms
      • Should one or the other be used throughout?
    • Definitions
      • Necessary formal definitions exist, but curators would like guidance on how experimental results inform selection of a given relation
      • For example, 'causally upstream of or within' has a formal definition:
        • p 'causally upstream or within' q iff (1) the end of p is before the end of q and (2) the execution of p exerts some causal influence over the outputs of q; i.e. if p was abolished or the outputs of p were to be modified, this would necessarily affect q.
        • This relation has a related synonym - 'affects'
    • LEGO GPAD outputs
      • How will LEGO annotations translate back to GPAD annotations, specifically wrt regulates relations?
      • GAF/GPAD output working group meets on Wednesdays at 7am PST to discuss output of different LEGO models
      • The particular issue wrt regulates and regulation is being worked on
    • Where can curators view all of the relations used in GO, their definitions, and usage statements and examples?
    • We need clear, vetted examples of usage in LEGO.
