New data and tools at TAIR (The Arabidopsis Information Resource)
Overview of TAIR Direct submission Published papers Journal collaborations RNA-seq Proteomic Corrections Genome release Gene function Other data: Markers Ecotypes Gene symbols New genomes New tools Directly (TAIR pages) AND via other databases Researchers
TAIR10 Genome Release • No assembly updates • Will incorporate: • 200M Ecker and Mockler RNA-seq reads • Additional proteomics data • Individual gene structure corrections sent to us RNA-seq Proteomic Corrections Genome release
Mapping and Assembly • Mapping • RNA-seq sequences (Tophat (C. Trapnell), Supersplat (T.C. Mockler)) • Peptides (6-frame translation, spliced exon graph) • Assembly approaches • Augustus (M. Stanke) • Uses spliced RNA seq reads, peptides • Aim: Identify additional splice-variants, update existing genes • TAU (T.C. Mockler) • Uses spliced RNA seq reads • Aim: Identify additional splice-variants • Cufflinks (C. Trapnell) • Uses spliced and unspliced RNA seq data • Aim: Identify novel genes
Preliminary Results Augustus/TAU/Cufflinks predicted models are classified into categories: Novel genes 21 Updated genes 812 Splice-variants 2134 B-list 1586 Rejects 2318
TAIR10 Genome Release • No assembly updates • Will incorporate: • 200M Ecker and Mockler RNA-seq reads • Additional proteomics data • Individual gene structure corrections sent to us • Release expected in August 2010 RNA-seq Proteomic Corrections Genome release
Experimentally Verified Gene Function Where does it come from??? Direct submission Published papers Journal collaborations • From research articles read by TAIR curators • From TAIR’s collaboration with journals • From direct submissions by researchers to TAIR Gene function
Literature Curation Published papers Gene function • How? • Papers are prioritized according to novelty of gene function results • Highest priority papers are read and gene function is extracted • Why? • A lot of high quality experimental gene function information is only available in the form of articles • How many? • About 1/3 of all new articles containing gene function data are curated at TAIR each year
Journal Collaboration Journal collaborations Gene function • How? • Author instructions, Excel sheet or online form • Why? • To capture a larger fraction of gene function data • Because publication is the right time to get the data into TAIR • What journals?
Journal Collaboration Journal collaborations Gene function • 2010: • Journal of Integrative Plant Biology • Journal of Experimental Botany • Plant Science • Environmental Botany • Plant Physiology and Biochemistry • Plant, Cell and Environment Plant Physiology (2008) The Plant Journal (2009) • How? • Author instructions, Excel sheet or online form • Why? • To capture a larger fraction of gene function data • Because publication is the right time to get the data into TAIR • What journals?
Direct Submission of Gene Function Direct submission Gene function • How? • Excel sheet or online form • Why? • To capture more data with a small curation team • Because researchers are the experts on the genes they study
New online submission form 17986450
Why Gene Ontology? • Standardization allows comparison across experiments and species • Hierarchical structure allows high level categorization • Well structured ontology framework facilitates computational analysis • Attached to data source (peer reviewed published research) • Experimental evidence can be distinguished from predictions
Example Gene Ontology annotations 3 GO flavors Biological process Cellular component Molecular function
New online submission form Autocomplete (just start typing to get a list of matching terms)
What is the result of TAIR’s effort to capture gene function? Direct submission Published papers Journal collaborations • How many genes have experimental gene function in TAIR? Gene function
