Return to Reference Genome Publication Counts

L - Total Publications

For this metric, we count the total number of articles of any kind, including both research articles and reviews, associated with a gene in dictyBase.

We run a weekly script that searches all of PubMed for citations containing 'Dictyostelium' or 'D. discoideum' in the title or abstract. It compares the references in the search with those currently in the database and adds new references to the database. If a puplication that the curators find has been missed by the automatic script, programmers run a small script to import the missing reference.

Curators link the new papers to genes using a web-based curation tool.

M - Triaged papers

dictyBase does not do any triage to target papers for GO, so this column will contain 'n/a' for dictyBase.

N - Number of papers read

This is the number of papers read and checked for possible GO annotations by the curator who was responsible for the reference genome curation of that gene. This number is manually tracked by the curator during the curation process for reference genome genes. We don't track this number as a part of standard curation, just when genes are designated for the Reference Genomes Project.

O - Number of papers producing GO annotations

This is the number of papers from which we actually made GO annotations.

-There are two scripts that run to identify relevant papers.   Then
-genes are associated with papers in two ways: 1) via a script that
-automatically associates the papers with the genes mentioned in the
-title or abstract, and 2) via manual association as part of our
-first-pass paper curation.
-. The PubMed script searches all of PubMed, weekly, for  citations containing 'cerevisiae' in the title or abstract plus   an S. cerevisiae gene name, alias, or systematic name in the   title or abstract. It compares the references in the search with   those currently in the database and adds new references to the   database, unless the corresponding PubMed ID has been previously   marked as inapproriate for SGD.
-This script also makes automated links between references and the   genes mentioned in each. For newly added papers, the genes   mentioned within are automatically linked to the paper in SGD. It   also compares the genes mentioned in each reference with those   currently linked in the database and will add new links between a   gene and a reference, unless the link has been previously marked   as inapproriate. New links between genes and references are   assigned the 'Not yet curated' topic.
-In subsequent curation, curators may add links that were missed   and will remove any inappropriate links that were made   automatically.
-. Because the PubMed script misses some references, we also do a   broader search on a weekly basis ('yeast' OR 'cerevisiae') of the   references added to PubMed each week. This script runs   automatically, immediately after the PubMed script runs on Friday   nights. The script compares its list of hits to the references   already in the SGD database, removes any that are already   present, and loads the remainder automatically into a temporary   location.  Because this broader search contains a high proportion   of irrelevant hits, the references must be reviewed to select the   relevant ones. Links between these papers and any relevant genes   are made manually by curators during the curation process.
-Note that this second script was only begun in 2005. Prior to   that time, our coverage of references relevant to S. cerevisiae   will be less complete.
