Phenotype Annotation at TAIR Tanya Berardini
Current Status • Phenotypes are associated to organisms (germplasms) and linked to references • Curation is mainly done in unstructured full text • Pilot study of structured annotation completed • PaTO not yet implemented
papillae:abnormal style:abnormal septum development:incomplete leaf:serrate
Same challenges as other databases • Large corpus of literature • Set number of curators with many diverse responsibilities • Different ways of paper prioritization
Capturing phenotypes from the literature • Single paper, describing single aspect of phenotype • Single paper, describing multiple aspects of the organism’s phenotype • Multiple papers describing different aspects of the organism’s phenotype • Multiple papers, describing the same phenotype
Storing complex annotations in the database • Right now, GO as a model for assocations: • 1 association = 1 gene product + 1 CV term • How do we deal with multiple ontologies in one association? • 1 association = 1 germplasm + 1 anatomy term + 1 PATO term (+ others)
