Methods and strategies for annotation
Literature curation:
Literature curation continues to be the major focus of our annotation efforts.
Computational annotation strategies:
As always, current strategies involve use of translation table to mine SwissProt keywords, InterPro domains, and EC numbers for IEA annotation. These are performed automatically on a nightly basis and require little human intervention.
Harold Drabkin monitors weekly QC reports on manual and automatic annotation stats, and responds to questions about specific annotations as required.
Priorities for annotation
- Isoform curation (Harold, Karen, Protein Ontology project); focusing on genes that have isoforms or whose products are modified, and co-ordinate with the Protein Ontology Protein Complex project.
- Genes with no GO annotation but with literature (Li and Dmitry)
- Genes with only IEA annotation but with literature (Li)
- Genes marked as having GO annotation completed, but now having new literature (Dmitry)
- Genes that have an annotation to one of the three root nodes of GO, but have new literature (David)
- Dmitry has been focused on annotation or miRNAs in MGI
- Annotation of ciliary genes (Karen)
- Annotation of metabolic genes, glycolysis,pyruvate metabolism, and carbohydrate catabolism in general (David)
- Autophagy genes
Presentations and Publications
a. Papers with substantial GO content
- to be filled in
c. Poster presentations
Other Highlights:
A. Ontology Development Contributions:
- David Hill continues working with the ontology development group to implement logical definitions for GO terms.
- David Hill is in the rotation to address GO-ontology GITHUB items.
- David Hill has been working with a focus group on representing autophagy in the ontology.
B. Annotation Outreach and User Advocacy Efforts:
- The Protein Ontology project continues to provide a web interface (http/pir.georgetown.edu/cgi-bin/pro/race_pro) whereby functional annotation using the GO can be applied to PRO submissions.
- Harold Drabkin continues to serve on the GO-help rota.
- David Hill is now co-managing the annotation group with Kimberly Van Auken (WormBase).
C. Other Highlights:
- Karen Christie serves as the MGI representative on the PAINT curation team. As a member of this team, Karen curates Panther families in PAINT to propagate annotations based on evolutionary relationships. She also files bug reports on PAINT and contribute to the improvement of the PAINT software.
- Mary Dolan works with other members (particularly Seth Carbon) of the GO software team to develop automated unit tests for AmiGO2 in order to facilitate releases.
