Table showing progress in annotating Drosophila localized genes Nov 2014 - Nov 2015 (FB2014_06 - FB2015_05)
Nov 14 | Nov 15 | % change | % of total genes | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Total number of localized genes (excluding pseudogenes) | 17382 | 17406 | +0.14% | |
Localized genes with no GO annotation | 4692 | 4449 | -5.0% | 25.6% |
Localized genes with any GO annotation | 12690 | 12947 | +2.0% | 74.4% |
Localized genes with 1 or more term based on experimental evidence | 6095 | 9727 | +59.6% | 55.9% |
Localized genes with other non-IEA, non-ND evidence | 3746 | 3830 | +2.2% | 22.0% |

3. Methods and strategies for annotation
a. Literature curation:
b. Computational annotation strategies: GO annotation based on InterPro2GO mappings are updated with every release of FlyBase.
c. Priorities for annotation:
1. Targeting unannotated Drosophila Melanogaster genes with human orthologs associated with disease (via OMIM mapping)
2. Reviewing the GO annotation for sets of genes related by shared functional or sequence characteristics or within macromolecular complexes.
