Inferred from Experiment (EXP)
Overview
- This code is used to indicate that experimental results support annotation of a gene product's molecular function, role in a biological process, or subcellular location.
- The EXP code is the parent code for the IDA, IPI, IMP, IGI and IEP experimental codes.
- The EXP evidence code can be used where any of the assays described for the IDA, IPI, IMP, IGI, or IEP evidence codes is reported.
- However, curators should annotate to one of the more specific experimental codes (IDA, IPI, IMP, IGI, or IEP) instead of EXP.
Examples of EXP Usage
DB Object ID | DB Object Symbol | GO ID | DB:Reference | Evidence Code | With (or) From |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PomBase:SPAC4A8.03c | protein phosphatase 2C Ptc4 | GO:0033549 (MAP kinase phosphatase activity) | PMID:22139357 | EXP |
Use of the With/From Field for EXP
- No value should be entered into the With/From field for EXP annotations.
When EXP Should NOT be Used
- EXP should not be used when a more specific experimental evidence code can be applied.
Quality Control Checks
- Not applicable
