Ongoing work updates

Release/snapshop update

• No snapshot since May 24th
  • the http://snapshot.geneontology.org/metadata/release-date.json file has 2022-05-24
  • there was a problem with the ontology (reproductive structure development)
  • currently the pombase file is creating problems - not really zipped
• Release status?

SynGO Updates

From the MOD imports call

• New SynGO models are on noctua-dev
• Who should check them to approve moving to production? Where do we want to track this?
• Discussion
  • Ask Frank at SynGO to check
  • Do we have some SOP? sanity checks?

Testing model copy

• Status
• Can Swiss-Prot curators start testing?

Machine learning methods for GO annotation prediction

• This is an EBI method using machine learning to predict GO terms (and other UniProt annotations)
• A description is here: https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/blob/master/metadata/gorefs/goref-0000117.md
• Is it relevant to have machine learning providing GO annotations?
• For MODs, this often just reproduces existing GO annotations. Maybe this is useful for other groups?

If we want to keep this resource:

• High level terms should be excluded (see annotation ticket #4115)
• The frequency of update should be defined in the description
• Ideally the method should be published
• Where are the docs?
