Error Output After Checking

  • Output from the GOA syntax checking script on each of the four curator files will be used to determine which annotations are removed from postgres and which will stay (e.g., miRNA annotations).

Errors to Fix

With/From Column

  • IC annotations need GO term in With/From - DONE
  • ISS annotations need database identifiers in With/From
  1. 917 ISS annotations in postgres as of 2012-07-23 - ~400 are legacy annotations without With/From entry
  2. Action - update as many as possible, but may need to move forward regardless; note that annotations would not be dumped/displayed.
  3. Action - retrieve from database all genes with an ISS and an experimental evidence code annotation to the same term
  • IMP annotations - some annotations use transgenes in the With/From column - this syntax should be okay, see jnk-1 and sir-2.1 for examples. Action - discuss with Rachael, Tony
  1. Review annotations to make sure they're still consistent with GO annotation practice
  2. Update transgene symbols to WB transgene identifiers - also true for fox-1 IGI
  3. Fixed sir-2.1 2012-10-05
  4. Fixed jnk-1 2012-10-05
  • IEP annotation - WBVariation ID in With column for an IEP annotation. Removed.
  • ISS annotation - With string not recognized or valid. act-2 - updated identifier in With column.
  • ISS annotation - With string not recognized or valid. dpy-27 - removed annotation; no IDA from other organism to ISS.
  • ISS annotation - With string not recognized or valid. eat-18. Removed annotation.
  • ISS annotation - With string not recognized or valid. egl-1. Removed annotation; other supporting experimental data.
  • ISS annotation - With string not recognized or valid. crn-3. Updated annotation to correct SGD identifier.
  • IGI annotation - With string not recognized or valid. fat-5 and fat-6 Updated annotations to correct SGD identifier.

Phenotype2GO Pipeline

  1. Remove annotations mapping to ncRNAs (e.g. 21U RNAs) and check again for pseudogene exclusion
  2. Update syntax of WB Phenotypes in With/From column for Phenotype2GO-based IMP annotations

IEA Pipelines

  • UniProtKB will perform InterPro2GO mappings in-house
  • TMHMM-derived annotations need a resolvable accession in With/From column
  1. Is there an accession for TMHMM?
  2. If not, what could be used in place of this pipeline if we stand to lose annotations?
  3. Remove this mapping pipeline from WB. Keep TMHMM results in another database tag? Motif?

Annotations to ncRNAs

  • Need a specific mapping file for those genes
  1. Action - contacted Rama to see if appropriate directories can be set up in GO CVS/SVN. Passed on to Mike C.
  2. CVS update -d
  • Annotated genes in file:
  1. mir-34
  2. mir-61
  3. mir-84
  4. mir-241
  5. lin-4
  6. lin-58

Annotations to Dead Genes

  • Do the dumping scripts filter out annotations made to now dead/invalid genes?
  • Corrections/Updates made:
  1. WBGene00004722 annotations merged into WBGene00011195/sao-1

gp2protein File

  • Need a version updated as often as possible to keep IDs as closely in sync as possible.
  • UniProtKB can upload file nightly.
  1. Action - need to develop a pipeline for more frequent updates of WB gp2protein file, as well as gp2ncRNA and gp2unlocalized
  • Updates for now:
  1. mig-21
  2. daf-16 - getting error message but IDs seem okay in gp2protein file
  3. lpr-7
  4. pat-12 - many new isoforms
  5. mog-2
  6. let-765
  7. fmi-1
  8. dex-1 = D1044.2

Unsupported/Missing Reference

  • Published papers without PMIDs - Including doi's instead would be fine, if available.
  1. WBPaper00004663 - added doi in paper editor, will need to dump doi in WB GAF
  2. WBPaper00003666 - rab-11.1 Missing PMID. Action - added PMID to paper in WB paper editor.
  3. WBPaper00005125 - sdc-2 No PMID, but doi. Annotation to secondary ID? R.
  4. WBPaper00000823 - sod-1 No PMID, but doi. Dump doi or add annotations to protein2go.

  • Annotations from P2GO pipeline or manual pipeline that reference a paper's erratum, not the original paper
  1. WBPaper00006304 updated to WBPaper00005637.
  2. WBPaper00004695 updated to WBPaper00004608. unc-78


  • Annotations from P2GO pipeline and CC annotation that reference a duplicate paper object for which there is no bibliographic information in WormBase
  1. WBPaper00005149 merged into WBPaper00005123


  • Annotation to incorrect paper - typo in paper ID.
  1. WBPaper00005379 updated to be WBPaper00005370. sek-1
  2. WBPaper00030350 updated to be WBPaper00031350. tip-1

  4. WBPaper00030369 updated to be WBPaper00031369. unc-41

Note about typos - these papers are getting flagged because they don't have a corresponding PMID - i.e. they aren't indexed by MEDLINE or they are meeting abstracts. If there were paper typos that didn't lead to flagging, how would we find them? One idea: search associated references with gene names via Textpresso and flag all those papers where the annotated gene names are not found in the paper.
