Gene Ontology (GO) Terms for NCBI RefSeq Eukaryotic Genomes

Are you interested in more functional information about protein-coding genes? We’ve expanded NCBI RefSeq’s Eukaryote Genome Annotation Pipeline (EGAP) to include Gene Ontology (GO) terms computed for most protein-coding genes. We are using the latest version of InterProScan, which now includes analysis based on PANTHER reference trees, on all NCBI RefSeq eukaryotic genomes. That means having … Continue reading Gene Ontology (GO) Terms for NCBI RefSeq Eukaryotic Genomes

Gene Ontology (GO) Terms on 100M+ RefSeq Prokaryotic Protein Sequence Records

Do you work with or study prokaryotic proteins? As previously announced, we’ve been adding Gene Ontology (GO) terms to RefSeq prokaryotic protein sequence records (example below) to standardize the language when describing the functions of genes and their products. Over 100 million RefSeq proteins from prokaryotes now have at least one GO Term, a 55% … Continue reading Gene Ontology (GO) Terms on 100M+ RefSeq Prokaryotic Protein Sequence Records

Announcing new links and annotations on Conserved Domain Search results!

Conserved Domain Search (CD Search) results now show domain architecture information and other annotations that further characterize predicted domain and protein function. These include links to PubMed, Gene Ontology (GO) terms, Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers, and the SPARCLE Domain Architecture Viewer. You can use these links on the results to find literature (PubMed), assign biological … Continue reading Announcing new links and annotations on Conserved Domain Search results!

New in RAPT: Better taxonomic assignment and GO annotation

We are excited to announce two improvements to the Read assembly and Annotation Pipeline Tool (RAPT), which allows you to assemble genomic reads for bacterial or archaeal isolates and annotate their genes at the click of a button. Improved taxonomic assignment Now RAPT verifies the scientific name you provide with the reads, and corrects it … Continue reading New in RAPT: Better taxonomic assignment and GO annotation
