Quality of Computationally Inferred Gene Ontology Annotations

Reliability of electronic annotations in the 16-01-2008 UniProt-GOA release compared to the specificity of the assigned GO term—Information Content in the 16-01-2008 UniProt-GOA release.
Each point represents one GO term, and its color corresponds to the ontology in the legend. Each boxplot summarizes the reliability of a selection of GO terms: those with specificity in the range denoted by the width of the boxplot. Lower, mid, and upper horizontal lines denote the first quartile, median and the third quartile, respectively. Vertical lines reach the 1.5 interquartile ranges from the respective quartiles or reach the extreme value, whichever is closer. To be visualized in these plots, a GO term needs to have assigned at least 10 electronic annotations in the 16-01-2008 UniProt-GOA release and at least 10 experimental annotations in the 11-01-2011 UniProt-GOA release.
