Curation of the additional details is becoming more consistent as SGD curators become more familiar with the curation system.
The curation of all these details was not arbitrary.
To facilitate this understanding, a detailed document entitled, 'Summary of Curation Details for the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database', was distributed to participants (http://www.biocreative.org/tasks/bc-workshop-2012/Triage/ .org/tasks/bc-workshop-2012/Triage/ .org/tasks/bc-workshop-2012/Triage/

First and foremost, consider allowing curation of deals.
This initial study revealed high-level commonalities, including (i) selection of documents for curation; (ii) indexing of documents with biologically relevant entities (e.g. genes); and (iii) detailed curation of specific relations (e.g. interactions); however, the detailed workflows also showed many variabilities.
A recent, comprehensive pathway resource from our lab, SignaLink, applies uniform curation rules to keep the levels of details to be identical in all examined pathways for C. elegans, D. melanogaster and humans [22].
Detailed curation of these datasets is paramount for accurate interpretation, widespread dissemination, and repurposing of data.
Motivation: Detailed curation of published molecular data is essential for any model organism database.
The authors conducted a survey of biological database curators and identified a 'canonical' workflow for biocuration, including the steps of (i) document selection, (ii) indexing of documents with biologically relevant entities and (iii) detailed curation of specific relations.
PMRD functions as a database system that brings together three main sources of knowledge: 1) general genomic information from public databases; 2) detailed curation of genetic studies from the literature; 3) public annotation from the research community.
