The use of multiple hierarchically independent gene ontology terms in gene function prediction and genome annotation
2007
In Silico Biology
The Gene Ontology (GO) is a widely used controlled vocabulary for the description of gene function. In this study we quantify the usage of multiple and hierarchically independent GO terms in the curated genome annotations of seven well-studied species. In most genomes, significant proportions (6-60%) of genes have been annotated with multiple and hierarchically independent terms. This may be necessary to attain adequate specificity of description. One noticeable exception is Arabidopsis
