Automated gene descriptions - orthology
- Some genes have human orthology mentioned in automated descriptions, even though the orthology call has not been called in DIOPT
- WormBase uses EnsemblCompara and other methods (not aggregate method like DIOPT)
- Orthology synchrony is a challenge; WormBase and FlyBase may need to pay special attention to orthology calls and discrepancies
- DIOPT is purely automated, does not consider other information about orthology evidence
- We should be clear about how the orthology calls are made
Next upload
- Unclear of exact date
