SEED Viewer Manual/Annotation

Annotation

The Annotation page shows a variaty of information about a single feature like a protein or an RNA. The page is roughly divided into three parts. The Annotation Overview presents the basic information about the feature. Reasons for Current Assignment reflect why the feature was assigned with the current functional role. The third part is a Compare Regions View showing the region of the feature in context to its own and related genomes.

If you are logged in and the feature belongs to your private genome, this page will have additional options for you to annotate the feature. These are described here.

The Annotation Overview

The feature ID and the genome it belongs to are shown in the header line of this part of the page. They link to Genome Browser and the Organism Page, respectively.

The current annotation depicts the functional role that is currently assigned to the feature. As annotations can be changed by users, you have the option to view an annotation history by pressing the show button in the cell annotation history some rows below. It will open a small table listing the date, the curator and the annotation that was made for each entry.
