Automatic gene annotation using GO terms from cellular component domain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Gene Ontology (GO) is a resource that supplies information about gene product function using ontologies to represent biological knowledge. These ontologies cover three domains: Cellular Component (CC), Molecular Function (MF), and Biological Process (BP). GO annotation is a process which assigns gene functional information using GO terms to relevant genes in the literature. It is a common task among the Model Organism Database (MOD) groups. Manual GO annotation relies on human curators assigning gene functional information using GO terms by reading the biomedical literature. This process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. As a result, many MODs can afford to curate only a fraction of relevant articles.

Methods

GO terms from the CC domain can be essent
