Methods and strategies for annotation
Curation methods
Literature curation:
Curation of the primary literature continues to be the major focus of our manual annotation efforts.
Semi-automated curation using the Textpresso information retrieval system
We also routinely employ the Textpresso information retrieval system for semi-automated curation of GO Cellular Component and Molecular Function annotations.
Computational annotation strategies:
Our computational annotation strategies include mapping genes to GO terms using InterPro domains and mapping genes to Biological Process terms based upon parallel annotations to the Worm Phenotype Ontology (Phenotype2GO). These methods are performed automatically as part of the WormBase database build.
Note that during the past year, we stopped using an automated pipeline that mapped genes to GO:0016021, integral to plasma membrane, based on the results of a transmembrane prediction algorithm, TMHMM, as these IEA annotations had no external database identifier for the With/From column and therefore were not consistent with GO annotation practices.
Curation strategies
Priorities for annotation
Selection of genes for annotation is guided by several criteria:
- Annotation of gene sets involved in specific biological processes as part of WormBase's coordinated topic-based curation process
- Topics annotated to date: Unfolded Protein Response (ER and mitochondrial), innate immune response, and defense response to pathogen
- Genes identified in Textpresso-based curation pipelines
- Re-annotation of genes associated with now obsolete GO terms or new ontology terms
- Publication of newly characterized genes
- C. elegans genes orthologous to human disease genes
