ABSTRACT
The Gene Ontology (GO) project describes the functions of the gene products of organisms from all kingdoms of life in a standardized way, enabling powerful analyses of experiments involving genome-wide analysis. The scientific literature is used to convert experimental results into GO annotations that systematically classify gene products' functions. However, to address the fact that only a minor fraction of all genes has been characterized experimentally, multiple predictive methods to assign GO annotations have been developed since the inception of GO. Sequence homologies between novel genes and genes with known functions help to approximate the roles of these non-characterized genes. Here we describe the main sequence homology methods to produce annotations pairwise comparison (BLAST), protein profile models (InterPro), and phylogenetic-based annotation (PAINT). Some of these methods can be implemented with genome analysis pipelines (BLAST and InterPro2GO), while PAINT is curated by the GO consortium.
