New GAF Submissions
Need to create a protocol for new website
Case 1: Existing organism, new group:
Plasmodium annotations
See mail thread related to https://github.com/geneontology/helpdesk/issues/143
- Contact both groups, have them discuss who "official" ('authoritative') owner should be
- Official owners need to be on calls, mailing lists, aware of current practices/tools, etc.
- Verify official source's membership on all official mailing lists
Case 2: New Organism, new group:
Asiatic mangrove
Made own IEAs "using Canopi", http://www.aggenome.com/bioinformatics-services#
- InterPro2GO is accepted source of IEAs for non-MODs. Manual annotations can be accepted, not IEAs.
- Canopi, others tools can't be reproduced
