Introduction to Biomedical Ontologies #2: Anatomy of an Ontology Annotation, part 1

Even if you know something about biomedical ontologies, you might have wondered where the ontology "annotations" (that is, the assignments of ontology terms to genes, proteins, QTLs, animal strains, and so forth) come from. How are terms assigned to data objects? What are the assignments based on? And is there a way to tell just by looking at an annotation what kind of evidence it's based on? This video is the first of a pair of companion tutorials that answer these questions. Part 1 gives a general overview of how ontology annotations are assigned to data objects and how you can tell what kind of data there is to justify a particular assignment. Part 2 will delve into more detail about the variety of specific information you can find in an ontology annotation.
