Yeast GO Slims updated - September 03, 2009
- The Yeast GO Slims are sets of high-level GO terms that best represent the major biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components that are found in S. cerevisiae. GO Slim terms are useful in mapping precise, "granular" gene annotations to more general "high-level" terms. These terms have been selected by SGD curators based on annotation statistics and biological significance. Recently, SGD curators reviewed the Yeast GO Slim terms and made necessary updates to the Process set, including the addition of seven new terms. No changes were made to the Function and Component sets of slim terms. The Yeast GO Slims are available for analysis via the GO Slim Mapper tool and the Advanced Search tool. Mapping of all the yeast gene products to the Yeast GO Slims is also available as a graphical view on the Genome Snapshot page and via the go_slim_mapping.tab file on the FTP site.

- We have migrated the SGD web site to new computers. This upgrade greatly improved the speed of displaying our Locus Summary pages but required many of the SGD URLs to be changed. Please update your bookmarks for SGD pages. If you are experiencing any problems accessing SGD, please contact us.
Curation Focus: Ribosomal Small Subunit (RPS) genes - January 30, 2009
- Ribosomes are highly conserved ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, consisting of a large 60S subunit and a small 40S subunit, that perform protein synthesis. As part of the GO Consortium's Reference Genome Project, GO annotations in SGD for 56 genes encoding the 32 proteins that are part of the ribosomal small 40S subunit have been recently reviewed and updated. Thanks to Jonathan Warner of Albert Einstein College of Medicine for his input.
GO Annotation Information - January 26, 2009
- During the past week, the GO annotations have been updated for the following features:

SGD links to new external resources - January 26, 2009
- Links to the CYC2008 (Curated Yeast Complexes 2008) resource, a manually curated catalog of S. cerevisiae protein complexes, have been added to the "Interactions" pull-down menu on the Locus Summary page and to the Protein Info pages. See Pu et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2008 for more information. Thanks to Shuye Pu and Shoshana Wodak for helping set up these links.
- Links to the PhosphoPep database, which contains MS-derived phosphorylation data for the proteins of four model organisms including S. cerevisiae, have been added to the "Protein Info & Structure" pull-down menu on the Locus Summary page and to the Protein Info pages. See Bodenmiller et al. Nat Biotechnol. 2008 for more information. Thanks to Bernd Bodenmiller and Dave Campbell for help in setting up the links.
- Links to the PlasmID repository, which distributes over 5,200 fully sequence-verified S. cerevisiae genes in Gateway entry and expression vectors, have been added to the External Links section of Phenotype Details pages for individual genes in SGD. The PlasmID repository is part of the DF/HCC DNA Resource Core at the Harvard Institute of Proteomics at Harvard Medical School. Thanks to Catherine Cormier for informing SGD about this resource.
