Annotators SEED
The master copy for all data in the SEED environment. Users can not access this password protected site.
Annotation
Annotation can be defined as assigning a gene function to a specific sequence. Traditionally annotation has been performed on a gene by gene basis in each genome separately. The SEED approach is based on the idea to annotate many genomes at a time. The SEED approach to annotation requires subsystems to be created, see #Clearinghouse.
functional role
PEG
A Protein Encoding Gene (PEG) is equivalent to a CDS (Coding Sequence).
Subsystem
A subsystem is a set of functional roles that together implement a biological process of form a structural complex.
Subsystem Clearing House
Since annotators can work on any machine (including the public SEED) the way to propagate subsystems is via Subsystem Clearing House web page.
