Ontologies -GO
Biological systems
Ontologies
• An ontology is a formal specification of terms and
relationships between them –widely used in biology and
boinformatics (e.g. taxonomy)
• The relationships are important and represented as graphs
• Ontology terms should have definitions
• Ontologies are machine-readable
• They are needed for ordering and comparing large data
sets
What’s in a name?
• What is a cell?
What’s in a name?
• What is a cell?
Ambiguities in naming
• The same name can be used to describe different
concepts, e.g:
–
–
–
–
–
Glucose synthesis
Glucose biosynthesis
Glucose formation
Glucose anabolism
Gluconeogenesis
• All refer to the process of making glucose
• Makes it difficult to compare the information
• Solution: use Ontologies and Data Standards
Gene Ontology (GO)
http://www.geneontology.org
• Controlled vocabulary/ontology
• Introduced to provide standardised way of annotating
gene products (http://www.geneontology.org)
• Used for functional annotation of genes or proteins
GO ontologies
• Molecular function:
– tasks performed by gene product –e.g. G-protein coupled
receptor
• Biological process:
– broad biological goals accomplished by one or more gene
products –e.g. G-protein signaling pathway
• Cellular component:
– part(s) of a cell of which a gene product is a component;
includes extracellular environment of cells –e.g nucleus,
membrane etc.
GO term examples
• GO terms arranged
in DAG
• Relationships
between terms
How to annotate to GO
• See if gene product annotated already e.g. by
MOD or GOA
• Manual annotation –need evidence codes
• Blast2GO
• Using GO mapping files (e.g. InterPro, EC,
Swiss-Prot keyword)
Multiple GO
terms
Process mappings:
-Cell communication
(IPR2GO)
-GPCR pathways
(SPKW2GO)
-GPCR pathways (IDA)
Select most manual
first, then most specific
Finding existing GO annotation
• Small-scale –QuickGO or AmiGO browsers
• Large-scale:
– GOA FTP site
• GOA proteomes (>25% coverage)
• GOA human, mouse, rat, cow, zebrafish, Arabidopsis, etc.
• GOA UniProt
– Proteome Analysis

Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO)
http://obo.sourceforge.net
• Central web location for accessing well-structured
CVs and ontologies for use in the biological and
medical sciences.
• Provides a simple format for ontologies that
encodes terms, relationships between terms and
definitions of terms (Not all OBO ontologies use
this format however).
