Taxon-GO Checks and Commentary - Part 7
Comments from WormBase, Ranjana Kishore and Kimberly Van Auken
Taxon inconsistent terms coming from electronic annotation through the InterPro2GO pipeline
GO:0042601 endospore-forming forespore GO:0009772 photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II GO:0019684 photosynthesis, light reaction GO:0030077 plasma membrane light-harvesting complex GO:0015979 photosynthesis GO:0015995 chlorophyll biosynthetic process GO:0008316 structural constituent of vitelline membrane GO:0015979 photosynthesis GO:0016032 viral reproduction
For the above terms, should we communicate with InterPro2GO curators, that these mappings do not work for all species, or do we have to block these on our end?
Taxon inconsistent terms used in our annotation
GO:0001703 gastrulation with mouth forming first
It is generally agreed that C. elegans belongs to the Protostomia, so annotations to this term should remain. Kimberly feels that the term itself might need some work.
GO:0001542 ovulation from ovarian follicle
We agree that the assignment of this term is inappropriate in elegas and it has been now removed in our manual annotation database. It has been replaced with the higher level term 'ovulation'. This change will be reflected in our next upload to the GO consortium.
