Phenotype Annotation at TAIR
Tanya Berardini
Current Status
• Phenotypes are associated to organisms (germplasms) and linked to references
• Curation is mainly done in unstructured full text
• Pilot study of structured annotation completed
• PaTO not yet implemented
papillae:abnormalstyle:abnormalseptum development:incompleteleaf:serrate
Same challenges as other databases
• Large corpus of literature
• Set number of curators with many diverse responsibilities
• Different ways of paper prioritization
Capturing phenotypes from the literature
• Single paper, describing single aspect of phenotype
• Single paper, describing multiple aspects of the organism’s phenotype
• Multiple papers describing different aspects of the organism’s phenotype
• Multiple papers, describing the same phenotype
Storing complex annotations in the database
• Right now, GO as a model for assocations:– 1 association = 1 gene product + 1 CV term
• How do we deal with multiple ontologies in one association?– 1 association = 1 germplasm + 1 anatomy term
+ 1 PATO term (+ others)
