Number of proposed targets
60 in full list (36 human transcription factor targets)
Short description to background of proposed project
The recent ontology workshop on heart development terms means that the ontology to support the annotation of this set of genes already exists.
The heart is interesting from an evolutionary standpoint, for example fish have a 4-chambered heart, with the chambers arranged in a sequential manner, and frogs have a 3-chambered heart. Therefore it will be interesting to see how the functions of the gene products change across species.
The heart is also of interest from the viewpoint of human health. There are many model organisms used to study the heart and this project will help to annotate the gene products of organisms that are important to cardiovascular research, but are not reference genome species, for example the dog.
The target list is rich in proteins involved in a number of central signaling pathways, TGF-beta and Wnt-catenin signaling for example. Thus, the annotation of this set will also serve as a through test and aid ongoing improvements of the new signaling ontology. However the current project (May-September 2011) will focus on just the transcription factors that are involved in heart development to take advantage of the recent work on the transcription ontology.
Description of original target selection
During the heart development workshop, the heart experts were asked for their opinions as to which genes were important in specific developmental processes. This list was combined with literature reviews to generate further genes of interest. This set was sent back to the heart experts for review and 4 of their additional suggestions were incorporated. Additionally, 18 targets have been included for which the only evidence gathered is that the mouse ortholog has been annotated with one (or more) of the following mammalian phenotype terms:
- MP:0003974 - abnormal endocardium morphology
- MP:0008825 - abnormal cardiac epithelial to mesenchymal transition
- MP:0004252 - abnormal direction of looping morphogenesis
It expected that as annotation proceeds, the literature will further support the inclusion of these targets in the heart development set.
There are a number of other mammalian phenotype terms which are relevant to heart development, but which have not been selected in this target set. The reason is that the aim was to generate a list of only 60 panther families. However, as the annotation proceeds it is likely that additional targets will become obvious, the annotation of which would help the heart development annotation set to feel more complete. So if possible, it is suggested that the option of adding an extra month to the project would be beneficial. This would allow time for the annotation of new targets that have come out of the initial 3-month project.
From this original target list, 36 human proteins believed to act as transcription factors have been selected.
Previous reference genome targets
The initial heart development set from the experts included 24 previous reference genome targets. Of these, seven were ref genome targets prior to May 09 and so it is felt that they will benefit from further annotation with the updated ontology. The remaining 17 were in the mouse lung target set. Of these only 3 of the human genes are fully annotated at the time of writing. The remaining 14 require annotation both for the mouse lung project and the heart development project. It is suggested these 14 targets are given the highest possible priority, as they are important for both the mouse lung project and heart development. However, as they had been selected previously they are not included in the set of 60 heart development targets.
Limitations of target set
The Panther subfamily has been specified where possible in order to minimize the number of non-heart development related proteins included in each family. Where there are multiple targets within a panther group, the family member specifically shown to be involved in heart development will be highlighted on the wiki as a higher priority than other non-heart development related family members. Many of the proposed targets may not be represented by orthologues in non-chordate species. Therefore an alternative set of targets may need to be found for Reference Genome groups annotating to non-chordate species.
Reference Genome Annotation Plans
This wiki page will act as a central resource for the project and will be used to help monitoring annotation progress. The attached discussion page will be used to highlight interesting points/difficulties, and capture any data that could be considered for publication purposes.
Ideas for annotation data exploitation
The annotations will be analyzed at the end of the project, to see if GO annotations can highlight the functional differences between species. Ongoing contact with heart development experts will be maintained to seek additional value for the project.

Curation notes
1. Comprehensively annotate all the priority genes for your species in the PANTHER families listed for that week. Not all MODs will have priority genes in every family. Some MODs will have more than one priority gene in a single family. Write 'done' in relevant row of the table above, once all the priority genes have been annotated.
2. Annotate as many other members of the weekly PANTHER family as possible. Do not worry if all non-priority members of PANTHER family could not be completed within the time frame.
3. Try to move onto the next week's targets at about the dates listed above, to enable simultaneous discussion of genes/ontology developments across MODs.
