Noctua Form CC Extensions

This page describes how to add contextual information to a Cellular Component annotation with the Noctua Form Editor.

Contextual information may be added to any standard CC GO annotation to provide additional details about the biological location of the Cellular Component.

Note: add video

Getting started

• Contextual information may be added to a CC in the Create Activity or Create New CC Annotation interfaces
• If working in the Create Activity interface, follow the instructions through adding 'occurs in' CC contextual information
• If working in the Create New CC Annotation interface, follow the instructions for Process how to create a Cellular Component annotation through the step to add contextual information.

Types of contextual information for CC annotations

• Contextual information that can be added to a CC annotation in the Noctua form can be one or more of the following:
  • 'part of' another GO CC
  • 'part of' a cell type
  • 'part of' an anatomical structure
  • 'part of' an organism
• Note that, in the form, there is a biologically meaningful hierarchy here, for example, that a CC is 'part of' a cell that is 'part of' an anatomical structure that is 'part of' an organism

Adding 'part of' C contextual information

• Click on the ‘more options’ icon on the far right of the CC annotation line
• Scroll down to the 'Add an extension' menu option
• Select the appropriate extension relation-value pair, e.g. Add 'part of' (Cell Type)
• A new line for the ‘part of’ Cell Type, evidence code, and reference will appear
• Begin typing the Cell Type term name and select the appropriate term from the autocomplete menu
• Add an ECO code
• Add a reference

Saving your annotation

• Once you have finished entering the contextual information for an MF annotation, the Save button at the bottom of the form will turn blue, and you can click on it to save your work.
• If the Save button is disabled, click on the red 'Why is the Save button disabled?' message at the bottom left of the form to see an error report that will guide you in how to fix your entry.

Previewing your annotation

• As you enter information into the form editor, you can click on the Preview button at the bottom of the form to see a representation of the annotation as it will be seen in the graph editor.

Clearing all fields

• If you would like to delete all of the information in the fields, click on the Clear button at the bottom of the form.

Suggestions for continuing

• Naming a model
• Making a model production
