Annotation maintenance
Long-term maintenance of annotation datasets
Groups contributing annotations to the central GO repository are responsible for maintaining their files.
Annotation sources
- When two or more databases create GO annotations for the same species, one database is responsible for submitting all annotations for that species.
- Each line of annotation includes the group who made the annotation, so all individual groups will clearly be given credit for the work that they have done.
- The list of submitting database groups can be found here.
Procedure to deal with unmaintained annotations
- GOC becomes responsible for maintaining annotations for groups that are no longer able to do so. This means that:
- Annotations are maintained in Protein2GO
- GOC/GOA run QC checks
- GOC becomes an editor of the annotations
- Annotations are ultimately submitted to the GOC by the group responsible for that species
Groups whose annotations are not actively maintained
- AgBase(*), AspGD(*), CAFA, DFLAT, GDB, Gramene(*), JCVI(*), LIFEDB, MENGO(*), MTBBASE, PAMGO(*), PINC, Roslin Institute, TIGR(*)
- (*) These groups still have persons that can be contacted with questions about changes in annotations, see GO Group Contacts on GitHub.
