What is an annotation? An annotation is a statement that a gene product … …has a particular molecular function …is involved in a particular biological process …is located within a certain cellular component …as determined by a particular method …as described in a particular reference. Evidence code Gene product Reference Smith et al. (2006) determined by a direct assay that Abc2 has protein kinase activity, is involved in the process of protein phosphorylation, and is located in the cytoplasm. Controlled vocabularies Adapted from Harold J Drabkin, The Jackson Laboratory
Outline • Functional annotation • Controlled vocabularies • Functional annotation at TAIR • Resources and tools at TAIR
Controlled vocabularies (CV) A standardized restricted set of defined terms designed to reduce ambiguity in describing a concept Non-controlled vocabularies • Different name, same concept • Same name, different concept
Different name, same concept The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors, such as pyruvate, amino acids and glycerol • glucose biosynthesis • glucose synthesis • glucose formation • glucose anabolism • gluconeogenesis
Controlled vocabularies (CV) • Clearly defined • Can be used to perform complex cross-species cross-database queries. • What protein kinases are involved in ethylene signaling and are expressed in nucleus?
Controlled vocabularies used at TAIR • The Gene Ontology (GO) vocabularies by the Gene Ontology Consortium • The Plant Ontology (PO) vocabularies by the Plant Ontology Consortium
Gene Ontology molecular function: catalytic / binding activities kinase activity, DNA binding activity biological process: biological goal or objective signal transduction mitosis, purine metabolism cellular component: location or complex nucleus ribosome, proteasome
Relationships: is_a and part_of protein complex organelle is-a is-a mitochondrion part-of-a fatty acid beta-oxidation multienzyme complex
Plant Ontology Plant structure morphological and anatomical structures stamen, petal, guard cell Growth and developmental stages whole plant growth stages and plant structure developmental stages seedling growth, rosette growth, leaf development stages, embryo development stages.
