The phrase "annotations can be inferred" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the ability to deduce or derive annotations from a given context or information.
Example: "In this study, we found that annotations can be inferred from the data provided, allowing for a deeper understanding of the results."
Alternatives: "annotations can be deduced" or "annotations can be derived".
This type of protein function prediction problem with incomplete annotation can be inferred to as the Multilabel Multi-Instance with weak-label learning task.
Furthermore, GOOD incorporates the GO database; therefore, not only the redundancy of annotation can be examined, but also functional annotation can be inferred to the target species based on orthology.
Candidate genes falling within a QTL interval can be identified and their relationship to particular phenotypes can be inferred based on functional annotations provided by ontology terms.
In many cases a GO term can be inferred from just one other annotation, but occasionally a curator can also infer an annotation to a term based on evidence from multiple sources of evidence/GO annotation.
For the two remaining transcription units, cg3372-75 and cg3138-39, no function in sulphur metabolism can be inferred from either the annotation or bioinformatic analyses.
Based on miRSponge data sources and functional annotation tools, the functions of some poorly understood miRNA sponges can be inferred.
Ontologies allow annotations at different levels of granularity, depending on what is known or what can be inferred, and provide mechanisms for quality control, consistency checking and error correction using collected data (both within and between ontologies).
In this case, all the predicted annotations fit the experiment and provide more details except 'Malignant neoplasm of prostate', which can be inferred from its DO child term of 'Prostate carcinoma'.
Specificity is defined here as the number of associations that can be inferred between a probe and Entrez Genes from all the probe annotations provided by the vendor.
Such annotations are also important to seed the ontology so that the gene function of related genes can be inferred by computational methods [ 10].
