GoCo framework enhances Gene Ontology annotation accuracy and volume

Researchers have developed GoCo, a novel framework designed to improve the accuracy and volume of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations in computational biology. This structure-guided approach calibrates existing predictor scores to control for errors, specifically targeting gene-level false discovery proportion (FDP). GoCo-M, a variant, demonstrated the ability to release more GO terms than existing methods while adhering to error targets across multiple studies. Another variant, GoCo-N, further refines this by ordering gene-specific calls, leading to significant increases in released annotations compared to Multilabel on independent datasets. AI

    GoCo: structure-guided conformal calibration for error-controlled Gene Ontology annotation release

    arXiv:2610.32990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational gene-function prediction generates annotations at a scale that experimental characterization cannot match, yet substantial errors remain even among leading methods. Explicit error-controlled calibration for Gene Onto…
