Contact the GOC to discuss the best approach for your annotations as well as where to submit your file.
- Genome-scale annotations: If you are conducting automated annotation efforts for an entire genome or across a number of genomes, follow the steps outlined on the guide to Submitting GO Annotations to learn about file format specifications.
- Human & Model Organism Databases: Your research group should follow the steps outlined on the guide to Submitting GO Annotations. Follow directions to prepare and submit a formatted file that complies with specifications of the GOC.
- Non-MOD Genome Projects: If you belong to a research community conducting a genome sequencing project for a "non-model" organism (e.g. butterflies, passerine birds, etc.), and you:
- have conducted automated annotations using tools such as InterProScan, Emsembl Compara, or have conducted Hidden Markov Model-based searches (e.g. with tools such as Just_Annotate_My_proteins (JAMps)), please follow the steps outlined on the guide to Submitting GO Annotations to prepare a formatted file for submission.
- have conducted manual annotations, associating GO terms to genes or gene products, with or without the assistance of genome annotation editing tools (e.g. Apollo), submit your annotations using the GO curator request tracker on Github. Each of your annotations should include an identifier as well as literature references in support of these annotations (if available).
