Annotation Progress
GO Aspect | Number of Annotations Added | Number of genes updated | Number of publications used |
---|---|---|---|
Biological Process | 1586 | 615 | 797 |
Molecular Function | 935 | 510 | 431 |
Cellular Component | 619 | 472 | 310 |
Note that these numbers count manually curated and high-throughput annotations only for ORFs that are Verified or Uncharacterized (Dubious ORFs are excluded), for RNA genes (ncRNA, rRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, or tRNA) and for genes encoded within transposable elements. It should also be noted these annotations may include both new annotations and updated annotations which replaced older ones.

Methods and strategies for annotation (please note % effort on literature curation vs. computational annotation methods)
a. Literature curation: 100% of SGD’s effort is dedicated to manual curation based on the published literature for budding yeast gene and their products.
b. Computational annotation strategies: SGD does not employ automated methods to assign annotations, rather we absorb the computationally predicted annotations made by the UniProtKB GOA project for S. cerevisiae. The IEA annotations are loaded into the SGD database from the GOA gene association file after each release. All these annotations are included in the gene_association.sgd file, which represents a significant expansion of the types of evidence codes and data sources that are provided by SGD. Note: The computationally predicted annotations generated by the integrated bioinformatic analysis of high-throughput data from the Roth and Troyanskaya labs (Tian et. al., 2008, Huttenhower and Troyanskaya, 2008) were removed from SGD because those predictions (annotations) were not refreshed/updated.
c. Priorities for annotation: The highest priority is to capture annotations where new information is available for an Uncharacterized gene product. These papers are identified during the literature triage process. In addition, we update older annotations. SGD captures the date when the annotations for a gene were reviewed. Using this date reviewed, older annotations are checked for consistency with the current literature.
d. SGD has incorporated Phylogeny based annotations made by PAINT. These annotations are now part of SGD's gene_association.sgd file
e. SGD curators recently concluded a large comparison study of manual vs computationally predicted annotations and are using the results from this to study to prioritize and come up with curation strategies.
f. SGD curators are routinely creating terms via the new TermGenie interface to speed up the process of annotation.

Other Highlights
A. Annotation Outreach
- R. Balakrishnan is a manager for the Annotation Advocacy working group
- R. Balakrishnan is part of the rotation that answers user email from gohelp.
- SGD curators participate in Annotation conference calls and curation Jamboree.
- R. Balakrishnan is part of a working group involved in the redesign of the GOC website.
- R. Balakrishnan attended the Blast2GO course held at UCDavis (July 2012).
- R. Balakrishnan attended the PAINT workshop held at Stanford University (December 2012).
- SGD is working towards transitioning to use GOA's protein2GO tool for curating GO
B. GOMine
- Kalpana Karra has been working on building GOMine which is an implementation of InterMine. GOMine (http://gomine.geneontology.org) should serve as a fast search and retrieval tool for GO data without having to know sql or the database table structure. This tool should be ready for public consumption in early 2013.
C. Software
- SGD continues to serve as the Production server for the GO Database and for the AmiGO web application.
- B. Hitz, S. Miyasato, G. Binkley are on the go-software mailing list
