Automated Concise Descriptions

• James and Ranjana making progress
• Several examples of automated descriptions, proof of concept
• Based on 3 GO categories and homology
• Add tissue-specific expression, and go live
• Should add 1000s of descriptions (automated)
• Next, pick terms of higher granularity
• We should ask users what they want: e.g. Is an Ascaris suum gene ortholog in C. elegans essential?
• Manual annotations in future? How can edits be tracked? Gets a new tag?
• Automated descriptions for all objects?
• We will likely separate manual from automated descriptions to ease editing and tracking
• GO terms can be added as IDs and be converted (automatically) to the term name with hyperlink on the web site
