Evaluation Of Annotation Performances Between Automated And Curated Databases Of E.Coli Using The Correlation Coefficient, Reddysalilaja Marpuri Aug 2009

Evaluation Of Annotation Performances Between Automated And Curated Databases Of E.Coli Using The Correlation Coefficient, Reddysalilaja Marpuri

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This project compared the performance of the correlation coefficient to show similarities in annotations between a predictive automated bacterial annotation database and the curated EcoCyc database. EcoCyc is a conservative multidimensional annotation system that is exclusively based on experimentally validated findings by over 15,000 publications. The automated annotation system, used in the comparison was BASys. It is often used as a first pass annotation tool that tries to add as many annotations as possible by drawing upon over 30 information sources. Gene ontology served as one basis of comparison between these databases because of the limited common terms in the …
