An approach for proteins and their encoding genes synonyms integration based on protein ontology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biological research is generating high volumes of data distributed across various sources. The inconsistent naming of proteins and their encoding genes brings great challenges to protein data integration: proteins and their coding genes usually have multiple related names and notations, which are difficult to match absolutely; the nomenclature of genes and proteins is complex and varies from species to species; some less studied species have no nomenclature of genes and proteins; The annotation of the same protein/gene varies greatly in different databases. In summary, a comprehensive set of protein/gene synonyms is necessary for relevant studies.

Results

In this study, we propose an approach for protein and its encoding gene synonym integration based on protein o
