UW CACAO competition

• HELP WITH EVIDENCE CODES
• Need a suggestion of a protein to annotate? Look here

• Here's a list of the evidence codes that CACAO students may use:

1. IDA: Inferred from Direct Assay
2. IMP: Inferred from Mutant Phenotype
3. IGI: Inferred from Genetic Interaction - requires with/from field to be filled in
4. IEP: Inferred from Expression Pattern
5. ISO: Inferred from Sequence Orthology - requires with/from field to be filled in
6. ISA: Inferred from Sequence Alignment - requires with/from field to be filled in
7. ISM: Inferred from Sequence Model - requires with/from field to be filled in
8. IGC: Inferred from Genomic Context

• for more help on evidence codes, see helpful handouts for students or the GO Consortium documentation at: http://www.geneontology.org/GO.evidence.shtml

Rules for CACAO Fall 2011

• important rules to follow (see document above!!!):

1. annotations must be complete and accurate to get points (at a minimum - GO term, evidence term, reference & brief description of evidence; possibly with/from field and/or qualifier)
2. only 8 evidence codes are permitted, 4 of which require the with/from field to be filled in correctly (see section below)
3. no annotations to binding terms will be accepted -- these require the IPI evidence code, which is NOT allowed in CACAO
4. qualifiers must be used correctly - see using qualifiers
5. no high throughput papers - email Brenley if you're still not sure after you've checked the rules document (see link to doc above)
6. your reference must be to a peer-reviewed scientific paper. No reviews, no class notes, no hypothetical modeling papers, etc.
7. your evidence for the Notes section must be to a figure with the experimental or computational evidence in it, not a model or summary figure.
8. any team member can refine/challenge any annotation from another team & do so more than once. The more complex the refinements, the more points at stake!
