The system presented at www.kb18.ru comprises a collaborative knowledge base for annotating the gene sets and disseminating these annotations through the Web.
In our opinion, ENSEMBL has set quite high standards on the quality of datasets disseminated including gene annotation [ 13].
We generated a family rule for the SIRT5 family, based on expert curation in characterized members, disseminating high-quality annotation to members of the family in more than 3000 UniProtKB/TrEMBL entries (see http://hamap.expasy.org/profile/MF_01121).org/profile/MF_01121
In addition, to encourage the use of the reference sequence by a broad spectrum of basic and applied biologists, we have created a web portal, SpottedWingFlyBase, to disseminate our analysis and annotation of the D. suzukii genome.
Currently, the GOC disseminates 126 million annotations covering >374 000 species including all the kingdoms of life.
The standards will ensure and guide different research groups to generate RNAi HTS datasets as common annotation guidelines for disseminating data online.
While automated pipelines have been developed, it is still up to community initiatives to pool, evaluate, integrate, and disseminate the necessary resources required for functional and comparative annotations that support research needs.
This approach provided scientists a structured way to disseminate knowledge, thereby giving rise to community intelligence of the annotation process.
In addition, the Maize Genome Sequencing Consortium has requested that MaizeGDB collect, document and disseminate researcher-contributed information to aid in continued genome assembly and annotation endeavors.
When a researcher includes a UMLS term as a data set annotation, and distributes the data set to a colleague, her purpose is to disseminate her research.
