Class AnnotationAssociation

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Identifiable

    public class AnnotationAssociation
    extends BioSequence2GeneProduct
    An association between BioSequence and GeneProduct that is provided through an external annotation source, rather than our own sequence analysis. Importantly, the 'overlap', 'score' and other parameters will not be filled in. Also note that in these cases the associated BioSequence may not have actual sequence information filled in. This type of association is used as a "last resort" annotation source for the following types of situations: No sequence information is available; annotations are unavailable (e.g., non-model organisms); or sequences are too short to align using our usual methods (e.g., miRNAs).
