Background Functional genome annotation is the process of labelling functional genomic regions with descriptive information. Manual curation can produce higher quality genome annotations than fully automated methods.

PINOT: an intuitive resource for integrating protein-protein interactions
Background The past decade has seen the rise of omics data for the understanding of biological systems in health and disease. This wealth of information includes protein-protein interaction (PPI) data derived from both low- and high-throughput assays ...

Liftoff: accurate mapping of gene annotations [PDF]
Abstract Motivation Improvements in DNA sequencing technology and computational methods have led to a substantial increase in the creation of high-quality genome assemblies of many species. To understand the biology of these genomes, annotation of gene features and other functional elements is ...

Community gene annotation in practice [PDF]
Manual annotation of genomic data is extremely valuable to produce an accurate reference gene set but is expensive compared with automatic methods and so has been limited to model organisms. Annotation tools that have been developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI, http://www.sanger.ac.uk/.) are being used to fill that gap, as they can be ...

Exploiting proteomic data for genome annotation and gene model validation in
Background Proteomic data is a potentially rich, but arguably unexploited, data source for genome annotation. Peptide identifications from tandem mass spectrometry provide prima facie evidence for gene predictions and can discriminate over a set of ...

Logical Gene Ontology Annotations (GOAL): exploring gene ontology annotations with OWL [PDF]
Ontologies such as the Gene Ontology (GO) and their use in annotations make cross species comparisons of genes possible, along with a wide range of other analytical activities. The bio-ontologies community, in particular the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) community, have provided many other ontologies and an increasingly large volume of annotations ...

Improved annotation of 3' untranslated regions and complex loci by combination of strand-specific direct RNA sequencing, RNA-seq and ESTs [PDF]
The reference annotations made for a genome sequence provide the framework for all subsequent analyses of the genome. Correct and complete annotation in addition to the underlying genomic sequence is particularly important when interpreting the results ...

ANNOTATING GENES USING TEXTUAL PATTERNS [PDF]
Annotating genes with Gene Ontology (GO) terms is crucial for biologists to characterize the traits of genes in a standardized way. However, manual curation of textual data, the most reliable form of gene annotation by GO terms, requires significant amounts of human effort, is very costly, and cannot catch up with the rate of increase in biomedical ...
