Annotation Progress

We continue to put emphasis on those genes selected for the Reference Genome Project. Additional emphasis has been placed on certain genes associated with lung development.

The large changes in manual (non-IEA) curated genes are the result of the addition of 5 efforts.

  1. Annotating genes with no literature annotation to one or more of the three roots. Quality control reports now alert curators for any genes annotated to one or more of the three roots when new literature is added to MGI and the literature is indexed to these genes.
  2. We have added a pipeline to create annotations inferred by sequence orthology (ISO) to mouse genes that have rat or human orthologs where the rat or human orthologs have been annotated by experiment.
  3. We have added a pipeline to load GOA annotations to mouse genes.
  4. We have added a pipeline to add annotations based on intra-ontology relationships.
  5. We have added a pipeline to add annotations by on sequence similarity (ISS)based on Panther family membership via the Reference Genome project.


Methods and strategies for annotation

Literature curation:

Literature curation continues to be the major focus of our annotation efforts. We continue to explore natural language processing tools to aid in identifying the genes in papers selected for GO.


Computational annotation strategies:

As always current strategies involve use of translation table to mine SwissProt keywords, InterPro domains, and EC numbers for IEA annotation. These are performed automatically on a nightly basis and require little human intervention.


Priorities for annotation

  1. Genes assigned by Reference Genome Project (everyone)
  2. Isoform curation (Harold, Protein Ontology project); now co-ordinating with 1 by focusing on reference genes that have isoforms.
  3. Genes with no GO annotation but with literature (Li and Dmitry)
  4. Genes with only IEA annotation but with literature (Li)
  5. Genes identified as being important in lung development (Dmitry)
  6. Genes marked as having GO annotation completed, but now having new literature (Dmitry)

A. Ontology Development Contributions:

  • 1. David Hill has worked on a team with Tanya Berardini, Chris Mungall, Midori Harris and Jane Lomax to develop cross-products within and among the three GO namespaces.
  • 2. David Hill continues to work with Chris Mungall and Tanya Berardini to add inter-ontology links in GO.
  • 3. David Hill has worked with Yasmin Alam-Faruque, Doug Howe, Midori Harris, Susan Tweedie, Becky Foulger and community experts to expand the kidney development portion of GO.
  • 4. Alexander Diehl is project leader for the Cell Ontology (with Chris Mungall) and Terry Meehan is a full-time curator working on the Cell Ontology. Terry has finished implementing cross-products for hematopoietic cell ontology terms and is working on general improvements to the CL, and has moved on to import of FMA cell types, among others. Alex is focusing improvements to the representation of neurons in the CL, part of an ongoing collaboration with the International Neuroinformatics Framework (INCF). In May 2010 we held a very successful Cell Ontology Workshop at The Jackson Laboratory where many issues regarding the longterm development of the ontology were settled. We will hold another workshop on neurons in the first quarter of 2011. (See separate progress report for the Cell Ontology). In summer 2010 Alex mentored Morgan V. Hightshoe, a returned member of the Jackson Laboratory Summer Student Program, and Wade Valleau, a local high school intern in linked projects to revise the representation of nervous system cell types in the Cells Ontology. Wade received support from INCF for his work. Alex continues to act as the GOC liaison to the Infectious Disease Ontology and Vaccine Ontology groups and to act on term requests for the GO from those groups, and is active in the GO Signaling and Virus content development groups.
  • 5. David Hill and Jane Lomax oversee the biological content development of GO. In particular, all new developmental biology-related terms submitted to SourceForge are handled by David Hill.
  • 6. David Hill and Harold Drabkin have been working with Tanya Berardini, Chris Mungall, Midori Harris, Jane Lomax and ChEBI curators to align GO with ChEBI. This will result in the first set of cross-products with GO and an external ontology.
  • 7. David Hill and Karen Christie have been collaborating to revise and update the transcription area of GO.

Annotation Outreach and User Advocacy Efforts:

  • The Protein Ontology project continues to provide a web interface (http/pir.georgetown.edu/cgi-bin/pro/race_pro) whereby functional annotation using the GO can be applied to PRO submissions. These are reviewed by Cecilia Arighi of Georgetown. At present, only the PRO curators (Georgetown and MGI) are using the tool, but it is available to anyone.
  • Harold is mentoring two curators in Donna Slonim's group at Tufts, Heather Wick and Craig Fournier. They are focusing on genes involved in human fetal development.
  • David Hill continues to serve on the GO-help rota.

Other Highlights:

  • We are now suppling a GAF 2.0 format file to GOC with column 16 cell type and column 17 isoform data filled in. This file is also available directly from our own FTP site.
  • Dmitry Sitnikov finishes up collaboration with Larry Hunter's group (Dr. Mike Bada) to establish a large, high-quality, corpora of full-text publications, expertly annotated with expressive knowledge representations, to improve the performance of a wide variety of biochemical text mining systems and to create new approaches to text mining.
