PhiGO, a phage ontology associated with the ACLAME database

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

As is the case for other genomes and metagenomes, complete nucleotide sequences of bacteriophages and archaeviruses have become increasingly numerous and require robust annotation tools. We present here the first version of a phage ontology, PhiGO, which should contribute to more informational annotation of gene products in phage and prophage sequences. PhiGO uses the Gene Ontology schema, the de facto standard for describing knowledge about gene products across many databases.

We wish to thank M. Ashburner and J. Lomax for introducing us to GO and OBO-Edit, S. Casjens and I. Molineux for their contribution to the assembly of phage terms and definitions, and G. Chaconas, A. Landy and G. Hatfull for suggesting corrections and new definitions. This work was supported by ESA-PRODEX (contract C90254), the Belgian Fonds de la Recherche Fondamentale Collective (FRFC) and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). GLM is a fellow from the Fonds Xenophilia, ULB. Any suggestions, comments, corrections and additional terms can be sent to [email protected] , with the PhiGO term in the subject line, or through the ACLAME forums.
