The phrase "a background annotation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to notes or comments that provide context or additional information about a particular subject or text.
Example: "The report includes a background annotation that explains the historical context of the data presented."
Alternatives: "contextual note" or "supplementary comment".
We used annotation obtained from the Gene Ontology Consortium [ 42] (data-version: 2013-08-23) againstted against a background annotation set, formed by combining annotation derived from the D. melanogaster Ensembl homologs of the full set of N. vitripennis genes, ensembl GO annotation, and the official gene set 2 GO annotation on NasoniaBase [ 43, 44].
Enrichment analyses of GO terms between individual bins of metazoan orthologous groups and the total metazoan dataset were also performed using Singular Enrichment Analyses and the Fisher's Exact Test implemented in agriGO [ 59] using GO IDs from the total set of 1080 OGs as a background annotation.
DAVID utilizes the background annotation information from various sequenced genomes to assign enrichment scores.
But she rose to cue background annotations, like the urgent accents behind Marshall Gilkes's trombone solo on "El Viento," which closed the set.
We established, so far, the broadest analysis of minisatellites in plants and observed their chromosomal localization providing a background for the annotation of the sugar beet genome and for the understanding of the evolution of minisatellites in plant genomes.
Enrichment of terms and "Fisher's Exact" P-values were calculated as for GO annotations above against a background of all InterPro annotated genes in the UCSC Known Genes database.
Genes with a read number >10 in the mRNA-seq control hNPCs were used in a background list for the functional annotation analysis of each dataset.
Since only a few studies were performed in watermelon, we used Arabidopsis gene annotation as a background database, which is relatively well composed.
The annotators have a background in biology and prior experience in using annotation tools, such as XConc.
A prerequisite for the manual annotation for the CHEMDNER corpus was that annotators had to have a background in chemistry to guarantee that the annotations are correct.
The GeneMerge software was used to calculate enrichment of KEGG annotations, using a background of all genes used in the given organism [ 40].
