What is the source the Gene Ontology annotation?

The Gene Ontology annotations are retrieved from the EBI's QuickGO webservice. Further informations are available in the external data sources section

What is the quality of these annotations?

For now, all GO term annotations, regardless of their evidence code, are displayed. No quality filter are used to provide the widest possible range of annotations. You can check the labels near each annotation for evidence details: manually reviewed annotations are displayed in blue, while the automatic ones are in grey.

What is the source the domain annotation?

The domain annotations are dynamically queried from the Interpro database, using EBI webservice.

The source of these annotations is represented by a color code (see legend). You can access the corresponding Uniprot entries in Interpro by clicking on the synthetic representation of each domain.

What are the distances?

The distances shown here are Jaccard distances, which are adapted to binary profiles (presence/absence).

How are they computed?

Distances between two protein of a given species are computed on phylogenetic profile of each protein in model species of the considered database.

Threshold

The goal of this section is to provide proteins with similar distributions to the query, to that end, we set a maximum threshold at 0.4
