3. Methods and strategies for annotation

a. Literature curation:

b. Computational annotation strategies: GO annotation based on InterPro2GO mappings are updated with every release of FlyBase.

c. Priorities for annotation:

  1.  Genes that currently lack GO annotation.

  2. Reviewing GO annotation for groups of related genes

4. Presentations and publications
