Annotation Progress

GO Aspect Number of Annotations Added Number of genes updated Number of publications used
Biological Process 899 622 466
Molecular Function 449 372 195
Cellular Component 646 527 195

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.

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. SGD also collects information from Authors about the data in their papers (aka FastTrack). SGD prioritizes papers based on the response from the authors. 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 are routinely creating terms via the new TermGenie interface to speed up the process of annotation.

f. SGD curators are capturing more specificity for annotations by adding substrate, targets etc in the Annotation Extension column (aka col-16) using the protein2GO interface.

g. SGD curators have also keeping up with the GAF checks on Jenkins and the protein2GO error checks

Function Summaries: New Feature

SGD curators have recently started summarizing the GO annotations for each gene in few sentences and these summaries are directly entered into Protein2GO. These summaries are associated with each gene in the GeneProductInformation (GPI) file. They will displayed on the Locus summary page and on the GO Annotations page in SGD in the coming months.
