MSc Students
As part of the UCL Genetics Institute'sÌýMSc in Genetics of Human Disease, students are required to complete a project consisting of an original piece of research. The Functional Gene Annotation Team offer bioinformatics-based projects that provide MSc and iBSc students with experience in a variety of bioinformatic resources. In addition, the students contribute valuable GO annotations.
- Annotation Volunteers
Having attended our Bioinformatics and Gene Ontology Annotation Workshop, the following attendees decided to continue to submit annotations to the GO database:
- Andrea Townsend-Nicholson (UCL)
- Mathew Tata (UCL)
- Jonathan Watkins (Birkbeck College)
- Raffaele Ferrari (UCL)
- David Gregory (UCL)
- Helen Jones (UCL)
- Janos Kriston-Vizi (UCL)
- Thokchom Lellel (MIzoram University, India)
You can contribute by:
- Reviewing the annotation of your favourite gene and telling us what's missing or inaccurate (or tell us if we've done a good job!)
- Suggesting papers for curation.
Please email us: r.lovering@ucl.ac.uk. Alternatively you can contribute to GO by following the instructions on the or the websites.
