Retiring old format GO files

  • The old format GO files are becoming increasingly hard to maintain as we add new relations etc, and process.ontology is getting so big that cvs is struggling with it. We had a GO help issue with it this week. I suggest we set a date to stop providing it - how about 1st July 2009, which is 6 months, and announce to GO friends? (Jane & Chris).

  • Val Wood asked last week
  1. Number of protein coding genes (a ball park number as I realise this is difficult for some organisms)
  2. Number of genes with manual GO annotations

Function/process links and regulates links

Work done by David, Tanya and Chris last week (David)

  • Process: the file will be available with the links filtered out so that they do not confused users used to the current file
