Inferred from High Throughput Expression Pattern (HEP)
HEP: Inferred from High Throughput Expression Pattern
Overview
- The HEP evidence code is used to indicate a the expression profile of a gene is to infer the process (indicated by the GO term) that it participates in.
- The HDA evidence code is equivalent to the IEP code and the general guidelines for annotating IEP code should be adhered to.
- Note: The HEP evidence code covers cases where the annotation is inferred from the timing or location of expression of a gene. Use this code with caution! It may be difficult to determine whether the expression pattern really indicates that a gene plays a role in a given process, so the HEP evidence code is usually used in conjunction with high level GO terms in the Biological Process ontology.
