GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
helpful handouts for students
From GONUTS
Here's a list of the evidence codes that CACAO students may use:
- IDA: Inferred from Direct Assay
- IMP: Inferred from Mutant Phenotype
- IGI: Inferred from Genetic Interaction - requires with/from field to be filled in
- IEP: Inferred from Expression Pattern
- ISO: Inferred from Sequence Orthology - requires with/from field to be filled in
- ISA: Inferred from Sequence Alignment - requires with/from field to be filled in
- ISM: Inferred from Sequence Model - requires with/from field to be filled in
- IGC: Inferred from Genomic Context
Specific Help and Downloadable handouts
- Step by step instructions on adding an annotation to GONUTS: An ILLUSTRATED guide for the whole process, from GO terms and finding accessions to the final annotation!
- Help:Editing_Tables is another illustrated and very detailed guide that is specific to entering information into tables.
- Experiments and their evidence codes: Has a list of some types of experiments and the evidence codes that are usually associated with them. This is good as a starting point if you're not quite sure what the experiment is showing, but remember, one type of experiment may support different evidence codes; for example what shows an IMP for a process term could possibly be an IDA for a component term as well.
- Useful urls for students: This lists practically all the sites you will use or might find helpful, info if you need to contact help, and some links that are pretty fun to explore if you are interested or are looking for a starting place
- Hints for searching PubMed efficiently: This lists some pointers that allow you to spend less time searching PubMed for papers, and tips on how to select papers to read
- Evidence code decision tree: A chart that, with yes/no questions, that can be very useful in determining what evidence code to use.
Easy Pickins!
Try these papers, which the judges have determined might be good sources... make sure your annotation hasn't already been gleaned, though!
