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.

Over the past year, WormBase has begun a topic-based approach to curation in which curators focus curation efforts on one or more biological topics, or processes, for each release cycle. Topics over the past year have included the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial unfolded protein responses, innate immunity and defense response, and Wnt signaling pathways (see below).

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 mappings between terms in the Worm Phenotype Ontology (WPO). Beginning with the WS246 WormBase release, these Phenotype2GO-based annotations will include phenotypes based upon genetic variations as well as RNAi experiments. Results from automated methods are generated anew with each WormBase database build to reflect any changes in the underlying reference genome sequence and/or gene models.

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, defense response to pathogen, and Wnt signaling
  • Genes identified in Textpresso-based curation pipelines
  • Re-annotation of genes affected by changes to the ontology, e.g. cilia biology, ubiquitination, enzyme regulator activities
  • Publication of newly characterized genes
  • C. elegans genes orthologous to human disease genes

Other Highlights

WormBase Data Models and Software

  • Juancarlos Chan and Kimberly Van Auken have written a new script for reporting our manual annotations statistics. This script reports the number of annotations per contributing group according to evidence code and also reports the number of annotations with annotation extensions.
  • WormBase GO Annotation Model - Kimberly Van Auken, Kevin Howe, Paul Davis, and Daniela Raciti collaborated on development and testing of a new GO annotation model for WormBase. The model will allow for full incorporation of annotation extension data into WormBase, as well as additional annotation details and new IEA annotations from the UniProt-GOA group. The new model and accompanying data will be included in WormBase Release WS237.
  • Phenotype2GO Annotation Pipeline - Kimberly Van Auken, Juancarlos Chan, and Kevin Howe revised the Phenotype2GO-based annotation pipeline to incorporate both RNAi- and genetic variation-based phenotypes to increase coverage for these types of annotations. Concurrently, they also changed the curation pipeline to allow for improved quality control by housing all annotations within a curation tool hosted at Caltech.
  • Raymond Lee and Juancarlos Chan, in collaboration with the GO software team at Berkeley, developed a new ontology browser for WormBase, WOBr. The browser allows for searching across multiple ontologies used in WormBase, including GO, WPO, and the worm Anatomy and Life Stage Ontologies.

Text Mining and Textpresso Central

  • Kimberly Van Auken and Yuling Li developed a new support vector machine (SVM) document classifier for a subclass of the molecular function ontology: catalytic activity. This SVM will be included in the WormBase data flagging pipeline that also includes classifiers for macromolecular interactions, expression patterns, and RNAi- and variation-based phenotypes.
