Terms / Genome annotation

Wikipedia의 정의에 의하면,

Genome annotation is the process of attaching biological information to sequences. It consists of two main steps:

1. identifying elements on the genome, a process called gene prediction, and
2. attaching biological information to these elements.

Structural annotation consists of the identification of genomic elements.

• ORFs and their localisation
• gene structure
• coding regions
• location of regulatory motifs

Functional annotation consists of attaching biological information to genomic elements.

• biochemical function
• biological function
• involved regulation and interactions
• expression
