Evaluating Functional Annotations of Enzymes Using the Gene Ontology.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The Gene Ontology (GO) (Ashburner et al., Nat Genet 25(1):25-29, 2000) is a powerful tool in the informatics arsenal of methods for evaluating annotations in a protein dataset. From identifying the nearest well annotated homologue of a protein of int...

Evaluating Computational Gene Ontology Annotations.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Two avenues to understanding gene function are complementary and often overlapping: experimental work and computational prediction. While experimental annotation generally produces high-quality annotations, it is low throughput. Conversely, computati...

How Does the Scientific Community Contribute to Gene Ontology?

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Collaborations between the scientific community and members of the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium have led to an increase in the number and specificity of GO terms, as well as increasing the number of GO annotations. A variety of approaches have been ...

Text Mining to Support Gene Ontology Curation and Vice Versa.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
In this chapter, we explain how text mining can support the curation of molecular biology databases dealing with protein functions. We also show how curated data can play a disruptive role in the developments of text mining methods. We review a decad...

Computational Methods for Annotation Transfers from Sequence.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Surveys of public sequence resources show that experimentally supported functional information is still completely missing for a considerable fraction of known proteins and is clearly incomplete for an even larger portion. Bioinformatics methods have...

Best Practices in Manual Annotation with the Gene Ontology.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The Gene Ontology (GO) is a framework designed to represent biological knowledge about gene products' biological roles and the cellular location in which they act. Biocuration is a complex process: the body of scientific literature is large and selec...

Primer on the Gene Ontology.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The Gene Ontology (GO) project is the largest resource for cataloguing gene function. The combination of solid conceptual underpinnings and a practical set of features have made the GO a widely adopted resource in the research community and an essent...

The Gene Ontology and the Meaning of Biological Function.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The Gene Ontology (GO) provides a framework and set of concepts for describing the functions of gene products from all organisms. It is specifically designed for supporting the computational representation of biological systems. A GO annotation is an...

Primer on Ontologies.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
As molecular biology has increasingly become a data-intensive discipline, ontologies have emerged as an essential computational tool to assist in the organisation, description and analysis of data. Ontologies describe and classify the entities of int...
