Taxon-GO Implementation April 2009 onwards
1st April 2009
This work has been on hold for a while as we were waiting for more sophisticated filtering in OBO-Edit to let all editor edit the file while doing normal live file editing. However Chris has asked that we push on without the filtering for a while.
Today:
Loaded the files in OE2 and found some file problems. The UnionTerm stanzas were a bit messed up, but were fixed by adding a Typedef for the the union_of relationship, and removing the top term.
Other file errors found and fixed:
Two entire taxa had gone missing from the taxon slim, and we had also lost a union_of term from the UnionTerms file. I do not know how that happened but I have replaced them.
I have recommitted the edited source files and also saved out and recommitted the all_files_mid_edit.obo file. I did not make any edits so the perl scripts do not need to be run.
Fixed this misformed tag 'name: synonym: "synonym: "synonym: "'in both edit file and source.
Set up WinXP laptop to run the perl scripts to generate the tab delimited file that the users need to act on these links.
TODO: There are a bunch of terms that currently have two only_in_taxon links and they mess up the converstion to tab-delimited. Need to resolve these relationships. Have deleted them from the file for now. This is the list:
GO:0048494 chromatophore ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase complex GO:0030075 plasma membrane-derived thylakoid GO:0030094 plasma membrane-derived photosystem I GO:0030096 plasma membrane-derived thylakoid photosystem II GO:0031676 plasma membrane-derived thylakoid membrane GO:0031979 plasma membrane-derived thylakoid lumen GO:0048493 plasma membrane-derived thylakoid ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase complex GO:0009521 photosystem GO:0030077 plasma membrane light-harvesting complex GO:0042716 chromatophore GO:0009760 C4 photosynthesis GO:0009761 CAM photosynthesis GO:0016168 chlorophyll binding GO:0030093 chloroplast photosystem I GO:0030095 chloroplast photosystem II GO:0030089 phycobilisome
I am wondering what the violations.txt file is in cvs. There is a readme but it is a dead end when you follow the urls.
9th April 2009
Looked through the rest of Michelle's taxon spreadsheet and sent a few questions to her before doing the final edits:
> 2. regarding "flagellin-based flagella...." terms - I left these as prok, > but Archaeal flagella have "flagellin-based" flagella too, but the > flagellins are different than bacterial flagellins and also they have > different overall flagellar structures. Therefore, the "flagellin-based" > terms do not provide a way to distinguish between the Arch and Bact types. > These will likely need to be revised. Oh that's good to know. So for now I should make these prokaryote, but later we might like to make child terms then? > 3. Archaea do not have peptidoglycan, but they have other cell wall > materials that are similar we don¹t have terms to cover those. Good to know. So I'll leave these as Bacterial for now and we can add Archaeal terms later. > 4. I notice that there are terms like ³plant-type cell wall² and > ³fungal-type cell wall². Can¹t we then have ³Bacterial-type cell wall² and > ³Archaeal-type cell wall²? Or even "bacterial-type flagella" and > "archaeal-type flagella"? That would be more clear I think. Yes that would be fine. Which ones would you like me to add? If you put a column in the attached spreadsheet and write the names in I can do the edits.
27th/28th April
The prokaryotic terms are now finished and a list of questions has been sent to SGD for the fungal terms.
A plan has been formed to finished the sensu terms and release the file in time to submit a paper to this conference:
IEEE International Conference
on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM09)
Washington DC, USA, Nov. 1-4, 2009
http://www.ittc.ku.edu/bioinformatics/BIBM09
Electronic submission of full papers: July 10, 2009
I sent this list to Kimberly to get feedback:

The current up to date version is in the edit file.
1st May 2008
Finished Nematode terms
TODO: return to dosage compensation terms and put a note in the def e.g. 'for example in Nematodes'. Do the same for the other terms. These terms need a taxon note so people know which one is which, but they are not suitable to be restricted on what can be annotated to them. This needs to be done in the live file. The taxon links are sorted out.
N.B. The dosage compensation terms do not need a taxon link even though they have a sensu synonym.
TODO: Michelle Gwinn-Giglio has requested the following change in the live file:
I'd say that the following terms should all have "flagellin-based" changed to "bacterial-type": flagellin-based flagellum flagellin-based flagellum filament flagellin-based flagellum filament cap flagellin-based flagellum hook-filament junction flagellin-based flagellum hook flagellin-based flagellum basal body flagellin-based flagellum basal body, distal rod flagellin-based flagellum basal body, distal rod, L ring flagellin-based flagellum basal body, distal rod, P ring flagellin-based flagellum basal body, proximal rod flagellin-based flagellum basal body, MS ring flagellin-based flagellum basal body, C ring flagellin-based flagellum basal body, rod flagellin-based flagellum part We could add the phrase "as found in bacteria" [to the def] - would that work? Then we should add a term "archaeal-type flagellum".
15th May 2009
Reminder that we still have feedback to act on from SGD.

Late May
We had a discussion with Jen Deegan, Chris Mungall and GO-Top on email about whether we could publish the trigger system. This led to further discussion of the ideas that would be covered. The discussion was broken off prematurely as Jen went on vacation, but some useful feedback came out of it. It has been proposed that the sensu terms that are difficult to interpret because of very technical or esoteric names and definitions should be clarified by putting an example in the gloss of the definitions field, or in a special examples field. Jen is in favour of this, but we have not yet had a chance to discuss the idea fully. Following on from other parts of the discussion, Jen Deegan and Chris Mungall are working together to figure out whether the presence of union terms is useful in terms of number of errors found, or if we could do without these to avoid complexity. The full discussion was very detailed and lengthy but Jen has it archived.
28th May
Changed the 'and's to 'or's in the union term names. Put explanation of the file in cvs into the readme file.
29th May
Realised there was an error in the editing workflow. I had regenerated the all_edits file by using a recent live file and the TaxonGOLinksFile.obo, and so had lost all of the unchecked links that did not have the def dbxref GOC:mtg_taxon. I had retained all of the checked links but they were no longer marked with the dbxref, as incorporation of the new live file had overwritten the definitions and obliterated the dbxrefs. No checked links have been lost and I have now edited the all_edits file so that all of the checked links are once more marked with the dbxref.
30th May
Chris Mungall has adapted a script so that it can now be used to check for ontology and annotation errors using the union terms as well as the links to monophyletic groupings. He found a number of issues, and we are going to make a file in cvs in go/scratch/go-taxon in which to collect metrics, so the data are kept even though the errors have been fixed. We are also checking the output of the checking script into cvs.
1st June
Changed editing workflow so that dbxrefs are not used to make checked links. From now on only checked links are retained in the file. The all_edits file is still the master copy, but regeneration of the all_edits file by combining the OBO file of links with the current live file will not cause loss of data.
Jen has been working mainly on fixing the sensu terms so that the sensu synonyms can be stripped out as soon as possible. However Chris is also keen to have triggers for the non-sensu terms that are also obviously taxon-specific. These can easily be found by using the GOOSE query that Chris made. Jen has propsed that she should start working on this list of terms after completing the last few difficult sensu terms.
Currently a high priority remains to figure out whether the union terms show up a lot of errors that could not be found without them.
9th June
From Chris:
http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B0C5L5
[Term] id: GO:0031424 name: keratinization namespace: biological_process def: "The process in which the cytoplasm of the outermost cells of the vertebrate epidermis is replaced by keratin. Keratinization occurs in the stratum corneum, feathers, hair, claws, nails, hooves, and horns." [GOC:ebc] is_a: GO:0032502 ! developmental process relationship: part_of GO:0009913 ! epidermal cell differentiation Suggestion: keratinization only_in vertebrate Suggestion: organ development only_in metazoa
Also:
sorocarp development only_in_taxon slme molds. No: slime molds are polyphyletic. WHat about the annotation from Magnaportha grisea? Is this right. Not sure this is a slime mold.
10th June 2009
Chris and Jennifer met at the EBI and worked on the taxon workflow. The results are minuted here:

12thJune 2009
I have made an import file in go-taxon to facilitate loading of the files.
Edits for today:
I have sent this to Alex and Tanya:
Hi Alex and Tanya, Do you think it would be possible for us to agree a better def for this term: GO:0002218 activation of innate immune response def: Any process that initiates an innate immune response. It used to have a sensu Magnoliophyta synonym so I am assuming that it is a plant thing, but the definition is not terribly informative. I have added a hint: "An example of this is the activation of innate immune response in Arabidopsis thaliana", but I think maybe there could be something more explanatory. The pubmed ids in the dbxref field suggest that it may not be a plant term. Thanks, Jen
I am working through the old sensu terms in alphabetical order, checking the links, removing the sensu synonyms, and putting examples in the defs.
I added a new taxon link, saved out and ran the scripts. I have decided not to commit the mid file after all, as it takes ages, and I need to change editing topic too frequently to easily allow for this. I updated the editing workflow document.
29th June 2009
We agreed a definition for 'activation of innate immune response' and I have made the edits. I also worked through about 30 more terms. I managed to filter out the links file but am having some problems filtering out the live file to commit back to the repository. I am continuing to work on that.
30th July 2009
Was not able to get the live file filtered out and committed back as the filtering turned out to be tricky and in the meantime a very large changeset was committed. I will make those synonym changes again without the links loaded, and just commit back without requiring the filtering step.
3rd July 2009
I have redone those changes and committed the live file.
