Email exchange with Dr David Starns (He/Him) VEuPathDB Annotation and Curation 2023-05-15
Dear Pascale,
Let me just introduce myself, I am a member of the Curation and Annotation team at VEuPathDB and after Achchuthan left the project I was referred to you on matters of Gene Ontology integration. We previously supplied files to the Gene Ontology via the Sanger FTP site with the GeneDB YAML configuration file. As GeneDB is now defunct we would like to update the YAML to represent curated GO files(GAF only presently) via VEuPathDB. We've just completed the development work to allow for this and was wondering whether you wanted us to contribute a new YAML file in the following directory for our curated Eukaryotic Pathogen and Fungal genomes?
https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/tree/master/metadata/datasets
Any direction on how to proceed would be wonderful.
Best Wishes,
Dave
Dear Dave,
Thanks for getting in touch. Yes please either update the yaml file, or I can do it myself if you prefer. Note that we need a zipped file on your end.
Also, are you aware that GO and UniProt is having a hard time making links to VEuPathDB, because the different links are supposed to be created from the same namespace, see some explanation here: https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/issues/1779
I am happy to set up a call if you’d like more explanation on this one.
Best wishes,
Pascale
Currently the files are not zipped so will have to talk to our infrastructure team in regard to that (probably Wednesday), I'll also have a look into the links with the infrastructure too. Sorry for the lack of communication, just trying to get on top of everything.
I'll have a look into the github issue and if there is anything I need more explanation with I'll take you up on that call. Will be great to be in synch with both GO and uniprot.
Best wishes,
Dave

I am QC’ing the data for the next GO release, and there is an issue with the Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 IEA annotations, that are now more than 2 year old, so according to our practices, these annotations will be filtered out from the GO products, including AmiGO. This affects about 3,500 annotations, ie an overall drop of 20% in the Plasmodium falciparum annotations.
Uli:
Thanks for your e-mail and for letting me know about the IEA annotations. Unfortunately, we currently only run those predictions when the genome is being updated. We’ve been discussing to run this more frequently for all genomes. It is currently not clear though when this can be implemented.
GAF Files and links have been updated, see https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/issues/2256#issuecomment-1989387583
We plan to add this in the release after the upcoming one, so we have some time to fix any issues that may arise.
