Structural and functional-annotation of an equine whole genome oligoarray

摘要: Background The horse genome is sequenced, allowing equine researchers to use high-throughput functional genomics platforms such as microarrays; next-generation sequencing for gene expression and proteomics. However, derive value from these datasets, they must be able model this data in biologically relevant ways; do so requires that the more fully annotated. There are two interrelated types of genomic annotation: structural functional. Structural annotation delineating demarcating elements (such genes, promoters, regulatory elements). Functional assigning function elements. The Gene Ontology (GO) de facto standard annotation, routinely used a basis modelling hypothesis testing, large datasets.
