How to annotate a protein family when there is no term/xref for it? #26

Closed khanspers closed 1 year ago

Question from Admin Curator (Javi): how to annotate a protein family (here, GeneProduct "RPS6K") if there's no term for it? Or is it left without crossreference in this case?) https://classic.wikipathways.org/index.php/Pathway:WP722 image

Comment from the original issue (Alex): I looked into RPS6K and don't have an immediate suggestion or fix. We tend to leave this up to authors, but it's not ideal to have a datanode annotated as GeneProduct, but not have an identifier. I think that will register as a curation bug, in fact. So, maybe make it a graphical element? Or just leave it. I don't have a strong opinion here :)

One solution is to list all the members of the protein family as individual nodes, if it fits in the pathway layout.

The best solution is to annotate the node using Pfam, we will add instructions in WP Academy for how to do this.
