Transcript Annotating Gene Products to GO terms in MGI

Annotating Gene Products to GO
terms in MGI
MGI's GO project provides functional
annotations for mouse gene products
using the Gene Ontology
GO annotations do not put the data
from experiments in detailed context
Our Solution- add supplemental data
to annotations from other ontologies
We created a standardized notes field
to capture extra information about
experiments
Notes can give us a information about
individual annotations
Notes can give us a information about
individual annotations
Notes can give us a information about
experimental conditions
Notes can tell us information about
experiments using mouse genes in
model systems
Conclusion
MGI uses external ontologies to
enhance GO annotations by creating
notes that give more contextual detail
than is given by using a GO term alone.
