<nowiki>** We have now tagged all genes in MGI that have no annotation or only IEA annotation, and have no literature selected for GO, with annotation to one or more of the three Gene Ontology root terms as needed. These genes were also then marked as “annotation complete.” This now allows for notification when GO-appropriate literature becomes indexed to these genes as it comes in through our normal triage process. (HJD) </nowiki> | |||
<nowiki>*** We have added a curator-monitored pipeline whereby annotations based on experimental evidence made to rat genes by RGD curators are added to MGI as annotations to mouse genes based on sequence orthology. This has helped fill in annotation to certain under-represented metabolic processes not normally studied in mouse due to their small size. (HJD) </nowiki> | |||

Currently, the data in column 16 refers to the cell type that the experiment supporting the annotation was carried out in, by use of cell ontology terms. MGI curators has been using several ontologies for many years to detail specific annotations. The ontologies used include Cell, Evidence Code, Adult Mouse Anatomy, Embryonic Mouse Anatomy, and Psi-Mod. |

Annotation Progress
We continue to put emphasis on those genes selected for the Reference Genome Project. Additional emphasis has been placed on certain genes associated with lung development.

** We have now tagged all genes in MGI that have no annotation or only IEA annotation, and have no literature selected for GO, with annotation to one or more of the three Gene Ontology root terms as needed. These genes were also then marked as “annotation complete.” This now allows for notification when GO-appropriate literature becomes indexed to these genes as it comes in through our normal triage process. (HJD)
*** We have added a curator-monitored pipeline whereby annotations based on experimental evidence made to rat genes by RGD curators are added to MGI as annotations to mouse genes based on sequence orthology. This has helped fill in annotation to certain under-represented metabolic processes not normally studied in mouse due to their small size. (HJD)
Methods and strategies for annotation
Literature curation:
Literature curation continues to be the major focus of our annotation efforts. We are currently using ProMiner to improve associating incoming literature to genes in MGI (indexing). This association is used to drive various QC reports used for identifying annotation priorities.
Computational annotation strategies:
As always current strategies involve use of translation table to mine SwissProt Keywords and InterPro domains for IEA annotation. These are performed automatically on a nightly basis and require little human intervention.
Priorities for annotation
- Genes assigned by Reference Genome Project (everyone)
- Isoform curation (Harold, Protein Ontology project); now co-ordinating with 1 by focusing on reference genes that have isoforms.
- Genes with no GO annotation but with literature (Li and Dmitry) (see ** above)
- Genes identified as being important in lung development (Dmitry)
- Genes marked as having GO annotation completed, but now having new literature (Dmitry)

b. Presentations including Talks and Tutorials and Teaching
A. Ontology Development Contributions:
1. David Hill has worked on a team with Tanya Berardini, Chris Mungall, Midori Harris, Jen Deegan and Jane Lomax to develop cross-products within the three GO namespaces. The regulation cross-products have been released in the extended GO. David and Tanya are now quality checking the internal biological process cross-products.
2. David Hill has worked with Tanya Berardini to continuing to add interontology links between MF and BP.
3. David Hill has worked with Varsha Khodiyar, Tanya Berardini, Doug Howe, Susan Tweedie, Ruth Lovering and community experts to expand the heart development portion of the ontology.
4. David Hill has worked with Yasmin Alam-Faruque, Midori Harris, Becky Folger, Doug Howe, Emily Dimmer, Rachel Huntley and community experts to expand the kidney development portion of the ontology.
5. David Hill and Tanya Berardini are maintaining the automated quality checks of the ontology on an ongoing basis.
6. David Hill and Harold Drabkin are working with Jane Lomax, Midori Harris, Tanya Berardini and Jane Lomax to align the representation of biochemicals in GO.
7. David Hill and Tanya Berardini added or modified 231 terms as a result of attending the American Society for Cell Biology Meeting in December.
8. Alexander Diehl is part of the GO Signaling Working Group led by Jen Deegan that has recently implemented improvements in the representation of signaling in the GO.
9. Alexander Diehl is project leader for the Cell Ontology (with Chris Mungall) and Terry Meehan is a full-time curator working on the Cell Ontology. Terry is currently focusing on implementing cross-products for hematopoietic cell ontology terms, while Alex is working on general improvements to the CL and organization a Cell Ontology Workshop in May 2010.
Annotation Outreach and User Advocacy Efforts:
The Protein Ontology project is providing a web interface (http/pir.georgetown.edu/cgi-bin/pro/race_pro ) whereby functional annotation using the GO can be applied to PRO submissions. These are reviewed by Cecilia Arighi of Georgetown. At present, only the PRO curators (Georgetown and MGI) are using the tool, but it is available to anyone.
Harold and David, along with Emily Dimmer, are mentoring Heather Wick of Tufts University, for annotation of human fetal lung development
Other Highlights:
We are now suppling a GAF 2.0 format file to GOC with column 16 and 17 data filled in.(HJD) This file is also available directly from our own FTP site. Currently, the data in column 16 refers to the cell type that the experiment supporting the annotation was carried out in, by use of cell ontology terms. MGI curators has been using several ontologies for many years to detail specific annotations. The ontologies used include Cell, Evidence Code, Adult Mouse Anatomy, Embryonic Mouse Anatomy, and Psi-Mod.
