New January 2012 Renal GO Annotation Newsletter
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2012-01-05 02:59The latest quarterly newsletter (January 2012) outlining the progression of the Renal Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) Initiative is now available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/kidney/newsletter/RenalGOANewsJan2012.pdf
New GO Annotation Publication in PLoS ONE
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2012-01-06 08:01We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest paper, a collaboration between the UCL-based Cardiovascular Gene Ontology Annotation Initiative (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/cardiovasculargeneontology/) and the UniProt-GOA Renal Gene Ontology Initiative (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/kidney/), which describes the benefit of performing focused annotation on proteins implicated in specific organ development and function. We show that such annotation efforts lead to improved interpretation of results from cardiovascular-related microarray datasets.

PomBase preview launch
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2011-11-28 09:05A preview of PomBase, the new model organism database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, has been announced to the S. pombe community for testing and feedback. PomBase contributes annotations for fission yeast to the GO repository; for more information, see the NAR Database Issue paper (PubMed abstract) or contact the PomBase staff.
UniProt-GOA website downtime this weekend (21-23 October)
Submitted by huntley on Thu, 2011-10-20 23:14The Hinxton datacentre will be closing down for maintenance from midday (UK time) on Friday 21st October, until the evening of Sunday 23rd October.
As a result all Hinxton-hosted UniProt GO annotation websites will be offline for this period.
QuickGO (www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO) will remain available throughout this time as it is served from a London datacentre.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Regards,
The UniProt GO annotation group.

10th Renal GO Annotation Newsletter
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-10-04 04:55Welcome to the 10th Newsletter outlining the progress of the Renal GO Annotation Initiative http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/kidney/newsletter/RenalGOANewsOct2011.pdf
The Renal GO Annotation Initiative aims to provide a unique public resource for renal
research by generating a detailed functional dataset for mammalian gene
products implicated in kidney development, function and disease. The Gene Ontology
(GO) vocabulary is the established standard for the functional
annotation of gene products. By using the GO to curate scientific

New GO annotation pipeline for plant proteins
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2011-09-05 01:04UniProtKB-GOA are pleased to announce the inclusion in their database of electronic GO annotations created by EnsemblPlants/Gramene.
The annotations are created using a similar concept to the Ensembl Compara pipeline that has been creating annotations for vertebrate species since 2006. Manually curated GO annotations are projected from Arabidopsis thaliana or Oryza sativa proteins onto proteins from one or more target species based on gene orthology obtained from Ensembl Compara.
