description: >-
Transitive assignment of GO terms based on InterPro classification. For any database
entry (representing a protein or protein-coding gene) that has been annotated
with one or more InterPro domains, the corresponding GO terms are obtained from
a translation table of InterPro entries to GO terms (interpro2go) generated manually
by the InterPro team at EBI. The mapping file is available at http://www.geneontology.org/external2go/interpro2go.
comments:
- Note that some groups filter GO annotations based on InterPro-to-GO transitive
assignment, e.g. to remove annotations redundant with manual curation.

title: Gene Ontology annotation based on UniProtKB keyword mapping.
description: >-
Transitive assignments using UniProtKB keywords. The UniProtKB keyword
controlled vocabulary has been created and used by the UniProt Knowledgebase
(UniProtKB) to supply 10 different categories of information to UniProtKB entries.
Further information on the UniProtKB keyword resource can be found at http://www.uniprot.org/docs/keywlist.
Further information on the UniProt annotation methods is available at https://www.uniprot.org/help/manual_curation
and https://www.uniprot.org/help/automatic_annotation.
When a UniProtKB keyword describes a concept that is within the scope of the Gene Ontology,
it is investigated to determine whether it is appropriate to map the keyword to an
equivalent term in GO. The mapping between UniProtKB keywords and GO terms is carried out
manually. Definitions and hierarchies of the terms in the two resources are compared and
the mapping generated will reflect the most correct correspondence. The translation
table between GO terms and UniProtKB keywords is maintained by the UniProt-GOA
team and available at http://www.geneontology.org/external2go/uniprotkb_kw2go.

The sequence conservation that permits the establishment of orthology between
mouse and rat or mouse and human genes is a strong predictor of the conservation
of function for the gene product across these species. Therefore, in instances
where a mouse gene product has not been functionally characterized, but its human
or rat orthologs have, Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) curators append the GO terms
associated with the orthologous gene(s) to the mouse gene. Only those GO terms
assigned by experimental determination to the ortholog of the mouse gene will
be adopted by MGI. GO terms that are assigned to the ortholog of the mouse gene
computationally (i.e. IEA), will not be transferred to the mouse ortholog. The
evidence code represented by this citation is Inferred by Sequence Orthology (ISO).

title: Hidden Markov Models (TIGR)
description: >-
A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a statistical representation of patterns found
in a data set. When using HMMs with proteins, the HMM is a statistical model of
the patterns of the amino acids found in a multiple alignment of a set of proteins
called the "seed". Seed proteins are chosen based on sequence similarity to each
other. Seed members can be chosen with different levels of relationship to each
other. They can be members of a superfamily (ex. ABC transporter, ATP-binding
proteins), they can all share the same exact specific function (ex. biotin synthase)
or they could share another type of relationship of intermediate specificity (ex.
subfamily, domain). New proteins can be scored against the model generated from
the seed according to how closely the patterns of amino acids in the new proteins
match those in the seed. There are two scores assigned to the HMM which allow
annotators to judge how well any new protein scores to the model. Proteins scoring
above the "trusted cutoff" score can be assumed to be part of the group defined
by the seed. Proteins scoring below the "noise cutoff" score can be assumed to
NOT be a part of the group. Proteins scoring between the trusted and noise cutoffs
may be part of the group but may not. One of the important features of HMMs is
that they are built from a multiple alignment of protein sequences, not a pairwise
alignment. This is significant, since shared similarity between many proteins
is much more likely to indicate shared functional relationship than sequence similarity
between just two proteins. The usefulness of an HMM is directly related to the
amount of care that is taken in chosing the seed members, building a good multiple
alignment of the seed members, assessing the level of specificity of the model,
and choosing the cutoff scores correctly. In order to properly assess what functional
relevance an above-trusted scoring HMM match has to a query, one must carefully
determine what the functional scope of the HMM is. If the HMM models proteins
that all share the same function then it is likely possible to assign a specific
function to high-scoring match proteins based on the HMM. If the HMM models proteins
that have a wide variety of functions, then it will not be possible to assign
a specific function to the query based on the HMM match, however, depending on
the nature of the HMM in question, it may be possible to assign a more general
(family or subfamily level) function. In order to determine the functional scope
of an HMM, one must carefully read the documentation associated with the HMM.
The annotator must also consider whether the function attributed to the proteins
in the HMM makes sense for the query based on what is known about the organism
in which the query protein resides and in light of any other information that
might be available about the query protein. After carefully considering all of
these issues the annotator makes an annotation.

title: Pairwise alignment (TIGR)
description: >-
Pairwise alignments are generated by taking two sequences and aligning them so
that the maximum number of amino acids in each protein match, or are similar to,
each other. Tools such as BLAST work by comparing a protein-of-interest individually
with every protein in a database of known protein sequences and retaining only
those matches with a high probability of being significant. Basic BLAST generates
local alignments between proteins for regions of high similarity. Other pairwise
alignment tools attempt to generate global (full-length) protein alignments. A
tool called Blast_Extend_repraze (BER, http://ber.sourceforge.net) has some benefits
over basic BLAST. Input into the BER tool includes the underlying DNA sequence
for each protein as well as 300 nucleotides upstream and downstream of the predicted
boundaries of the protein coding sequence. This allows annotators to see the DNA
sequence that underlies the query protein as part of the alignment. In addition,
the BER tool is able to look for continuation of regions of similarity through
frameshifts and in-frame stop codons. If such regions are found the alignment
is continued. BER searches are done in a two-step process: step one is a BLAST
search against a non-redundant protein database, significant BLAST hits are stored
in a mini-database for each query protein; step two is a modified Smith-Waterman
alignment between the query and the proteins in its mini-database. In order to
assess whether a given BER alignment is good enough to assert that the query shares
the function of the match protein, one must look at a several factors. First of
all, the match protein must itself be experimentally characterized in order to
avoid transitive annotation errors. In addition, any residues or secondary structures
known to be important for function in the match protein must be conserved in the
query. The alignment should be visually inspected to look for any areas of lesser
quality that might indicate the two proteins do not share the same function. Although
it is impossible to set cutoff values for percent identity and length of match
that will apply for every alignment, there are some guidelines. In general at
least 40% identity that extends over the full lengths of both proteins is required
in order to even consider functional equivalence. However, this percentage is
highly dependent on the length and complexity of the proteins. 40% identity between
two proteins 500 amino acids long is much more significant that 40% identity between
two proteins that are only 100 amino acids long. Therefore, the annotator's experience
and knowledge of what is considered significant for the organism and protein family
in question is very important. Some sets of proteins are much more highly conserved
than others and therefore tolerances for percent identity may have to be adjusted.
Finally, the alignment must be considered in the context of what else is known
about the query protein and the organism as a whole.

title: Improving the representation of central nervous system development in the
biological process ontology
description: >-
Current genetic and molecular studies in many model organisms are aimed at understanding
formation and development of the nervous system. Up until this point, the GO has
had a very shallow representation of processes pertaining to the nervous system.
In June 2006, curators from MGI and ZFIN met with researchers studying central
nervous system development to improve the representation of these processes in
GO. In particular, emphasis was placed on three areas that are being addressed
actively in current research: forebrain development, hindbrain development and
neural tube development. This collaboration resulted in the addition of over 500
terms that reflect the development of the forebrain, the hindbrain, and the neural
tube from the perspective of biological process and anatomical structure.

title: Improving the representation of immunology in the biological process Ontology
description: >-
GO terms describing processes, functions, and cellular components related to the
immune system have existed in the GO from its beginning and been used extensively
in the annotation of gene products. However, particularly in the biological process
ontology, the initial set of terms relating to immunology failed to cover the
breadth of known immunological processes, and in many cases diverged from current
usage and understanding in their names, definitions, and ontological placement.
As part of a larger effort to improve the representation of immunology in the
GO, a GO Content Meeting was held November 15-16, 2005, at The Institute for Genomic
Research, to discuss improvements to representation of immunology in the biological
process ontology of the GO. As a result of the meeting, a number of high level
terms for immunological processes were created, an overall structure for immunologically
related terms was established, and certain existing terms were renamed or redefined
as well to bring them in line with current usage.

Transitive assignment of GO terms based on the UniProtKB Subcellular Location
vocabulary. UniProtKB Subcellular Location is a controlled vocabulary used to
supply subcellular location information to UniProtKB entries in the SUBCELLULAR

title: Manual transfer of experimentally-verified manual GO annotation data to orthologs
by curator judgment of sequence similarity.
description: >-
Method for transferring manual annotations to an entry based on a curator's judgment
of its similarity to a putative ortholog that has annotations that are supported
with experimental evidence. Annotations are created when a curator judges that
the sequence of a protein shows high similarity to another protein that has annotation(s)
supported by experimental evidence (and therefore display one of the evidence
codes EXP, IDA, IGI, IMP, IPI or IEP). Annotations resulting from the transfer
of GO terms display the 'ISS' evidence code and include an accession for the protein
from which the annotation was projected in the 'with' field (column 8). This field
can contain either a UniProtKB accession or an IPI (International Protein Index)
identifier. Only annotations with an experimental evidence code and which do not
have the 'NOT' qualifier are transferred. Putative orthologs are chosen using
information combined from a variety of complementary sources. Potential orthologs
are initially identified using sequence similarity search programs such as BLAST.
Orthology relationships are then verified manually using a combination of resources
including sequence analysis tools, phylogenetic and comparative genomics databases
such as Ensembl Compara, INPARANOID and OrthoMCL, as well as other specialised
databases such as species-specific collections (e.g. HGNC's HCOP). In all cases
curators check each alignment and use their experience to assess whether similarity
is considered to be strong enough to infer that the two proteins have a common
function so that they can confidently project an annotation. While there is no
fixed cut-off point in percentage sequence similarity, generally proteins which
have greater than 30% identity that covers greater than 80% of the length of both
proteins are examined further. For mammalian proteins this cut-off tends to be
higher, with an average of 80% identity over 90% of the length of both proteins.
Strict orthologs are desirable but not essential. In general, when there is evidence
of multiple paralogs for a single species, annotations using less specific GO
terms are transferred to the paralogs, however, annotations using more specific
GO terms may be transferred to the most similar paralog in each species, this
decision is taken on a case by case basis and may be influenced by statements
by researchers in the field. Further detailed information on this procedure, including
how ISS annotations are made to protein isoforms, can be found at: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/ISS_method.html.

title: Operon structure as IGC evidence
description: >-
Genes in prokaryotic organisms are often arranged in operons. Genes in an operon
are all transcribed into one mRNA. Generally the genes in the operons code for
proteins that all have related functions. For example, they may be the steps in
a biochemical pathway, or they may be the subunits of a protein complex. Often
the genes in operons shared between organisms are syntenic; that is, the same
genes are in the same order in the operon in different species. When assessing
sequence-comparison-based evidence during the process of manual annotation of
a genome, it is often the case that some of the genes in the operon will have
strong sequence-based evidence while others will have weak evidence. If seen alone,
not in the presence of an operon, the weak evidence in question may not be sufficient
to make a functional annotation. However, in the presence of an operon in which
there is strong evidence for some of the genes, the very presence of the gene
in the operon is a strong indication that the gene shares in the process carried
out by the operon. If the putative function is one expected to exist for the process
in question and particularly if that function has been observed in the same operon
in another species, then the annotation should be made. This type of evidence
is inferred from the context of the gene in an operon, and therefore the evidence
code is IGC "inferred from genomic context."

A meeting focused on the biology of skeletal and smooth muscle has been held on
24-25 July 2007 at the University of Padua, Italy, as a collaboration with the
GO consortium and CRIBI Biotechnology Center. The aims of this effort were to
provide a comprehensive representation of muscle biology in the biological process

terms to better describe the current knowledge of biological mechanisms in muscle
tissue. Thus, the collaboration brought together experts in several areas of muscle
biology and physiology who carried out a thorough review of the existing GO muscle
terms as these terms were largely created by non-muscle experts using older definitions.
In particular, several areas are being addressed actively in current research:
the biological processes of muscle contraction, muscle plasticity, muscle development,
and muscle regeneration; and the sarcoplasmic reticulum and membrane delimited
compartments. This work resulted in the addition of 159 new terms and in the modification
of 57 terms to bring them in line with current usage. Funding for the meeting
was provided by Italian Telethon Foundation.

Standard BLASTP from NCBI was used (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/blast) to iteratively

of Magnaporthe grisea and GO proteins from multiple organisms with published association
to GO terms. The alignments were manually reviewed for those hits with e-value

and for those hits with e<=10^-20, pid >=35 and sequence coverage >=80%. Furthermore,
experimental or reviewed data from literature and other sources were incorporated
into the GO annotation. IDA was assigned to an annotation if normal function of
its gene was determined through transfections into a cell line and overexpression.
IEP was assigned to an annotation if according to microarray experiments, its

title: OBSOLETE Portable Annotation Rules
description: >-
The JCVI is developing a collection of mixed-evidence annotation rules, under
the working name BrainGrab/RuleBase (BGRB). A rule has two parts. The first is
the set of conditions that must be met for the rule to fire. The second is the
set actions to be taken for rules that have fired. BGRB rules are designed to
serve as proxies for the annotators that create them. They have very high fidelity
but may have low coverage. Types of evidence used in combination include HMM hits
and BLAST matches, hits to neighboring genes, pathway reconstruction reports from
the Genome Properties system, and species taxonomy. BLAST matches are described
by a number of separate parameters for raw score, percent sequence identity, and
coverage of total sequence length by the match region. These parameters are customized
for each protein family in order to achieve high fidelity in automated annotation
systems. The flexible syntax makes it possible to use existing protein family
classifiers, such as Pfam and TIGRFAMs HMMs, in new ways. It is especially useful
in assigning GO terms to proteins such as SelD (selenide, water dikinase) that
have different roles in different contexts.

description: >-
The Phylogenetic ANnotation using Gene Ontology (PAN-GO) method annotates evolutionary
trees from the PANTHER database with GO terms describing molecular function, biological
process and cellular component. The GO terms are manually selected by a curator
and used to annotate ancestral genes in the phylogenetic tree using the evidence
code IBA (Inferred from Biological Ancestor). All supporting annotations must
be based on experimental data from the scientific literature. The PAN-GO annotations
are fully traceable from the data in the 'with/from' column of the annotation,
which provides the PANTHER node ID (PTN) from which the annotation is derived,
as well as all descendants sequences that support the annotation of the ancestral
node.
The full method is described in PMID:21873635.

title: Manual annotations that require more than one source of functional data to

description: >-
The Gene Ontology Consortium uses the IC (Inferred by Curator) evidence code when
an annotation cannot be supported by any direct evidence, but can be inferred
by GO annotations that have been annotated to the same gene/gene product identifier
in conjunction with the curator's knowledge of biology (supporting GO annotations
must not be IC-evidenced). In many cases an IC-evidenced annotation simply applies
the same reference that was used in the supporting GO annotation. The use of
IC evidence code in an annotation with reference GO_REF:0000036 signifies a curator
inferred the GO term based on evidence from multiple sources of evidence/GO annotations.
The 'with/from' field in these annotations will therefore supply more than one
GO identifier, obtained from the set of supporting GO annotations assigned to
the same gene/gene product identifier which cite publicly-available references.

This describes a method for supplying a NOT-qualified, IKR-evidenced GO annotation
to a gene product, when general sequence homology considerations would suggest
a function or location, or a role in a biological process, but where a curator
has determined that the absence of key sequence residues, known to be required
for an expected activity or location, indicating the gene product is unlikely
to be able to carry out the implied activity, involvement in a process or cellular
component location. This reference should only be used used when an IKR-evidenced
annotation is made based on curator judgement from manually reviewing the sequence
of the gene product and where no publication can be found to support the curators
conclusion. It is preferable to cite a peer-reviewed publication (such as a PubMed
identifier) for IKR-evidenced annotations whenever possible. Curators will have
carefully reviewed the sequence of the annotated protein, and established that
the key residues known to be required for an expected activity or location are
not present. Inclusion of an identifier in the 'with/from' field, that highlights
to the user the lacking residues(e.g. an alignment, domain or rule identifier)
is absolutely required when annotating to IKR with this GO_REF. Documentation

by curators studying fluorescence microscope images of cells labelled with GFP-fused
cDNAs. Protein coding regions of novel full length cDNAs are tagged with the
coding sequence of the green fluorescent protein, the fusion proteins are then
expressed and analyzed for their subcellular localization.
Prior to February 2013, all LIFEdb annotations were referenced by PMID: 11256614 (Simpson et al.
2000 EMBO Rep. 1:287-292), a paper describing the protein subcellular localization
pilot study and methodology used by LIFEdb. However, it has been decided that
these annotations are more correctly described by a GO reference.

title: OBSOLETE Gene Ontology Cellular Component annotation based on cellular fractionation.
description: >-
Assignment of GO Cellular Component terms based on experimental evidence of cellular
localization from Differential Detergent Fractionation (DDF). Cellular proteins
are differentially fractionated and detected using mass spectrometry. Subcellular
localization is based upon identification of proteins in different fractions and
analysis of their predicted transmembrane domains. Proteins are assigned GO CC
based upon a manually reviewed DDF2GO mapping file.

title: OBSOLETE Taxon constraints to detect inconsistencies in annotation and ontology
structure.
description: >-
GO is intended to cover the full range of species, therefore GO terms are defined
to be taxon neutral, avoiding reliance on taxon information for full definition
of the given process, function, or component. For certain terms, however, there
is obvious implicit taxon specificity, such that the term should only be used
to categorize gene products from particular species. Taxon specificity of GO terms
is captured using relationships such as "only_in_taxon" and "never_in_taxon".
All taxon constraints are inherited by sub-types and parts of the GO term they
are applied to. Taxon constraints are used to prevent inappropriate annotations
from being made by curators as well as to identify pre-existing annotations that
violate the taxon constraints. Errors in annotations are automatically detected
by looking for inconsistencies between the taxonomic origin of the annotated gene
products and the implicit taxon specificity of the GO terms. The inconsistencies
are passed on to curators for correction, in some cases the constraints need to
be tightened or relaxed or the structure of the ontology needs to be adjusted.
The taxon constraints are further described in this publication: Deegan, Dimmer
and Mungall. BMC Bionformatics (2010) Formalization of taxon-based constraints
to detect inconsistencies in annotaiton and ontology development. (PMID:20973947).

title: OBSOLETE Gene Ontology annotation by SEA-PHAGE biocurators
description: >-
This GO reference describes the criteria used by biocurators of the SEA-PHAGE
consortium for the annotation of predicted gene products from newly sequenced
bacteriophage genomes in the SEA-PHAGE phagesdb.org and other databases and in
the GenBank records periodically released to NCBI for these genomes. In particular,
this GO reference describes the criteria used to assign evidence codes ISS, ISA,
ISO, ISM, IGC and ND. To assign ISS, ISA, ISO and ISM evidence codes, SEA-PHAGE
biocurators use a varied array of bioinformatics tools to establish homology and
conservation of sequence and structure functional determinants with proteins from
multiple organisms with published association to experimental GO terms and lacking
NOT qualifiers. These proteins are referenced in the WITH field of the annotation
using their xref database accession. The primary tools for homology search in
ISS, ISA, ISO and ISM assignments are BLASTP and HHpred, using a maximum e-value
of 10^-7 for BLASTP and a minimum probability of 0.9 for HHpred, and manual inspection
of alignments in both cases. For ISS and ISA assignments, BLASTP alignments are
required to have at least 75% coverage and 30% identity. For ISO assignments,
orthology is further validated using reciprocal BLASTP with the identified hit.
For HHpred results, ISS or ISM annotations are made only if the source for the
original GO annotation explicitly defines a matched domain function, or if more
than half of the domains of the query protein are identified in the matching protein.
All ISS, ISA, ISO and ISM assignments entail the manual verification of the source
for the GO term in the matching protein sequence and critical curator assessment
of the likelihood of preservation of function, process or component in the context
of bacteriophage biology. IGC codes are assigned on the basis of suggestive evidence
for function based on synteny, as inferred from whole-genome comparative analyses
of multiple bacteriophage genomes using primarily the Phamerator software platform,
and with special emphasis on the bacteriophage virion structure and assembly genes.
When extensive review of published literature on putative homologs reveals no
experimental evidence of function, component or process for a particular gene
product, it is assigned an ND evidence code and annotated to the root term for
Cellular Component, Molecular Function and Biological Process. As part of the
review process for assignment of ISS, ISA, ISO, IGC and ISM evidence codes, SEA-PHAGE
curators are required to analyze the reference literature for identified matches
and shall perform GO annotations with appropriate evidence codes if these were
not available.

on the basis of ortholog cluster membership. In detail, predicted (e.g. by AUGUSTUS,
see doi:10.1186/1471-2105-7-62) or transferred (e.g. via RATT, see doi:10:1093/nar/gkg1268)
gene models in the target genome are translated and processed by OrthoMCL 1.4
together with reference protein sequences to produce clusters of gene products
derived from orthologous genes. For each cluster, GO terms are automatically transferred
from source products to the target gene products if they are experimentally verified
(IDA (ECO:0000314), IMP (ECO:0000315), IPI (ECO:0000353), IGI (ECO:0000316), (EXP
ECO:0000269). They are tagged with the ISO evidence code and the "with/from" is
populated with the source feature references (e.g. "GeneDB:LmjF.28.0960"). OrthoMCL
runs are done using the parameterization suggested in the OrthoMCL algorithm document
(blastall -F 'm S' -e 1e-5).

title: Electronic Gene Ontology annotations created by transferring manual GO annotations
between related proteins based on shared sequence features.
description: >-
GO terms are manually assigned to each rule in UniRule. These rules are prepared
manually by UniProt curators based on the annotations present in reviewed UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
records that share sequence features, sequence similarity and taxonomy. The assigned
GO terms are then transferred to all unreviewed UniProtKB/TrEMBL proteins that
meet the conditions given in the UniRule rule. GO annotations using this technique
receive the evidence code Inferred from Electronic Annotation (IEA; ECO:0000501).
These annotations are updated regularly by UniProt and are available for download
on both the GO and GOA EBI ftp sites. To report an annotation error or inconsistency,
or for further information, please contact the UniProt Automated Annotation team
at automated_annotation@ebi.ac.uk. UniRule is a collaboration between the European
Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB),
and the Protein Information Resource at Georgetown University (PIR). For further

title: Automatic transfer of experimentally verified manual GO annotation data to
orthologs using Ensembl Compara.
description: >-
GO terms from a source species are projected onto one or more target species based
on gene orthology obtained from Ensembl Compara. One-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many
orthology relations and anntations are transferred between orthologs that have
at least a 40% peptide identity to each other. Only GO annotations with evidence
codes ECO:0000314 (IDA), ECO:0000270 (IEP), ECO:0000316 (IGI), ECO:0000315 (IMP),
and ECO:0000353 (IPI), or their descendants, are transferred; annotations with
a 'NOT' qualifier are not transferred, and neither are annotations to GO:0005515
(protein binding). Annotations that are transferred using this method receive
the evidence code ECO:0000265 (sequence orthology evidence used in automatic assertion),
which maps up to the GO Inferred from Electronic Annotation (IEA) evidence code. The
model organism database identifier of the annotation source will be indicated

title: Gene Ontology annotation based on curation of genome-wide subcellular localisation
of proteins using fluorescent protein tagging in Trypanosoma brucei
description: >-
Trypanosomes are exquisitely structured cells in which protein localisation can
be extremely informative for likely function. TrypTag is a project using expression
of N- and C-terminal mNeonGreen fusion proteins from the endogenous loci to determine
the subcellular localisation of every gene in the Trypanosoma brucei genome. GO
Cellular Component terms are manually assigned by curators studying fluorescence
microscope images of the resulting cells labelled with mNeonGreen fusion proteins.
As trypanosomes are a pathogenic basal eukaryote, this will indicate likely function
of both highly conserved eukaryote genes and parasite-specific genes. Resource

title: Gene Ontology annotations Inferred by Curator (IC) using at least one Inferred

description: >-
The Gene Ontology Consortium uses the IC (Inferred by Curator; ECO:0000305) evidence
code when assignment of a GO term cannot be supported by direct experimental or
sequence-based evidence, but can, based on a curator’s biological knowledge, be
reasonably inferred from existing GO annotations to the same gene/gene product. Use
of the IC evidence code with GO_REF:0000111 indicates that a curator inferred
the GO term based on at least one supporting annotation with an 'Inferred from
Sequence Similarity' (ISS; ECO:0000250) evidence code. Note that additional supporting
annotations may be experimentally evidenced. When using GO_REF:0000111, the 'with/from'
field must contain all GO identifiers used as supporting annotations.

title: OBSOLETE Gene Ontology annotation by CACAO biocurators
description: >-
This GO reference describes the criteria used by biocurators participating in
the Community Assessment of Community Annotation with Ontologies (CACAO) to annotate
gene products from genomes of interest through the use of computational methods
to establish and manually validate function or homology to gene products. In particular,
this GO reference describes the criteria used to make annotations based on evidence
codes ISS, ISA, ISO, ISM and IGC. To perform ISS-, ISA-, and ISO-based annotations
on a gene product, CACAO biocurators use sequence- and structure-based search
algorithms (e.g. BLASTP, HHPred) to establish homology, conservation of sequence
and structure functional determinants between the target gene product and gene
products from other organisms with published GO annotations supported by experimental
codes and lacking NOT qualifiers. These gene products are referenced in the WITH
field of the annotation using their xref database accession. ISM-based annotations
make use of published computational methods (e.g. TMHMM, SignalP) to predict gene
product structure, localization or function. IGC-based annotations are made on
the basis of suggestive evidence for function based on synteny. Parameters and
criteria for use of all computational methods (e.g. e-value) are listed and versioned
in the publicly available CACAO documentation (http://gowiki.tamu.edu/). Annotations
made by CACAO biocurators are reviewed by CACAO team instructors before their
release.

title: Gene Ontology annotation of human sequence-specific DNA binding transcription
factors (DbTFs) based on the TFClass database
description: >-
The TFClass (http://tfclass.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/index.jsf) database provides
a comprehensive classification of mammalian DNA binding transcription factors
(DbTFs) based on their DNA binding domains (DBDs) (PMID:29087517). TFClass classifies
mammalian DbTFs by a five-level classification in which the four highest levels
represent groups defined by structural and sequence similarities (superclass,
class, family, subfamily, and genera) (more details at http://www.edgar-wingender.de/TFClass_schema.html).
This classification is based on the combination of background knowledge of the
molecular structural features of DBDs (PMID:9340487, PMID:23427989) and phylogenetic
trees constructed via multiple sequence alignment with hierarchical clustering
of manually validated DBDs and/or full-length protein sequences retrieved from
UniProt (PMID:23427989, PMID:23180794, PMID:23427989).
The NTNU curation team has evaluated each family and assigned a molecular function
annotation, GO:0000981 (DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase
II-specific), and a cellular component annotation GO:0000790 (nuclear chromatin),
as appropriate. The superclass/class/family or subfamily ID is specified in the
"With/From" field. The annotations are supported by the evidence code ECO:0005556
(multiple sequence alignment evidence used in manual assertion).

title: Manual transfer of experimentally-verified manual GO annotation data to homologous
complexes by curator judgment of sequence, composition and function similarity
description: >-
Method for transferring manual annotations to an entry based on a curator's judgment
of its similarity to a putative homolog that has annotations that are supported
with experimental evidence. Annotations are created when a curator judges that
the sequence, composition and function of a complex shows high similarity to another
complex that has annotation(s) supported by experimental evidence (and therefore
display one of the evidence codes ECO:0000353 [IPI] or ECO:0005543). Annotations
resulting from the transfer of GO terms display the ECO:0005610, ECO:0005544 or
ECO:0005546 evidence codes and include an accession for the complex from which
the annotation was projected in the 'with/from' field (column 8). This field MUST
contain a Complex Portal accession identifier. Putative homologs are chosen using
information combined from a variety of complementary sources. Potential homologs
are initially identified using sequence similarity search programs such as BLAST.
Homologous relationships are then verified manually using a combination of resources
including sequence analysis tools, phylogenetic and comparative genomics databases
such as Ensembl Compara, INPARANOID and OrthoMCL, as well as other specialised
databases such as species-specific collections (e.g. HGNC's HCOP). In all cases
curators check the alignments for each complex component and use their experience
to assess whether similarity is considered to be strong enough to infer that the
two proteins have a common function so that they can confidently project an annotation.
While there is no fixed cut-off point in percentage sequence similarity, generally
proteins which have greater than 70% identity that covers greater than 90% of
the length of both proteins are examined further. Whilst we expect subunit composition
to be conserved between closely related species, this is not an absolute rule
and orthologous complexes may differ if a subunit cannot be traced in one species
or is experimentally shown not to be present. When there is evidence of multiple
paralogs for a single species, multiple variants of the complex can be inferred.

title: Automatic Gene Ontology annotation of non-coding RNA sequences through association

description: >-
Rfam (http://rfam.org, PMID:29112718) is a database of non-coding RNA families
which are manually annotated with GO terms by Rfam curators. RNAcentral (http://rnacentral.org,
PMID:27794554) maintains a comprehensive collection of non-coding RNA sequences
that are regularly annotated with Rfam families using the Infernal software (PMID:24008419).
When a non-coding RNA sequence is matched to one or more Rfam families by sequence
similarity, the GO terms associated with the Rfam family are transitively assigned
to the non-coding RNA sequence. Annotations resulting from the transfer of GO
terms are assigned the ECO:0000256 evidence code (match to sequence model evidence
used in automatic assertion) and include RNAcentral and Rfam accessions. The annotations
are available on the GOA and EMBL-EBI FTP sites. The mapping between Rfam families
and GO terms is available at http://www.geneontology.org/external2go/rfam2go,
and the Infernal software can be downloaded at http://eddylab.org/infernal. To
report an annotation error or inconsistency, or for further information, please

title: Electronic Gene Ontology annotations created by ARBA machine learning models
description: >-
Association-Rule-Based Annotator (ARBA) predicts Gene Ontology (GO) terms among
other types of functional annotation such as Protein Description (DE), Keywords
(KW), Enzyme Commission numbers (EC), subcellular LOcation (LO), etc. For all
annotation types, reviewed UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot records having manual annotations
as reference data are used to perform the machine learning phase and generate
prediction models. For GO terms, ARBA has an additional feature to augment reference
data using the relations between GO terms in the GO graph. The data augmentation
is based on adding more general annotations into records containing manual GO
terms, which will result in richer reference data. The predicted GO terms are
then propagated to all unreviewed UniProtKB/TrEMBL proteins that meet the conditions
of ARBA models. GO annotations using this technique receive the evidence code
Inferred from Electronic Annotation (IEA; ECO:0000501). Links: ARBA documentation

finds the best matching homologous family, and then grafts it to the best location
in the tree. It then annotates the query sequence by propagating annotations from
the appropriate ancestral node(s) in the reference tree, which were manually annotated
using the PAN-GO method (see GOREF_0000033). This method is integrated into InterProScan,
which produces annotations to millions of genes across tens of thousands of organisms.
The full method is described in PMID:30032202.
