Fifty authors, including Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel, and J. K. Rowling, are contributing annotated first editions of their novels to an auction benefiting English PEN.
For example, check out Rap Genius' annotated edition of Justin Bieber's "Confident" – as of today 67 different fans have contributed annotations!
Certainly, there are several tools oriented towards collaborative work: a consensus-building mechanism that allows a large group of people to contribute or annotate a common ontology in a collaborative way to reach consensus among individuals.
According to our study, there are several tools oriented towards collaborative work [7, 8, 13, 14, 16]: a consensus-building mechanism that allows a large group of people to contribute or annotate a common ontology in a collaborative way to reach consensus among individuals.
Should authors of published literature contribute to annotate their database records?
A major chunk of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway transcripts (36.56%) was contributed by transcripts annotated as 4-coumarate-CoA ligase.
A few sequences obtained here may also contribute to extend annotated mRNAs or to the identification of novel transcripts.
Some of the sequences identified also contribute to extend annotated mRNA, as is the case for ABCB5 (Fig. S15), or reveal novel transcripts, since they match only genomic DNA, mapping in introns or intergenic regions (Additional File 3, Fig. S2 S14).
Ongoing next-generation sequencing-based investigation of gene expression (including transcription profiling) in Musa pathogen interactions by our group will offer potential for further elucidation of gene expression during plant immune responses, and will contribute to validating annotated gene models in the Musa whole-genome sequencing project.
In contrast to their relative genomic abundance, annotated TEs contribute only ~12% to global expression, while annotated genes contribute ~80%, averaged across all data sets; reads originating from regions of the genome not present in the reference or reads whose quality is too poor to allow alignment make up the remaining portion (Additional file 4: Figure S2A).
