| dc.description.abstract | This workshop explores the use of a web-based inter-collegiate competition to perform Gene Ontology annotation of gene products in sequenced genomes as a tool to motivate and focus students’ reading and critical assessment of primary scientific literature while performing a useful task for the scientific community. Students work in teams to generate and peer review gene annotations. The combination of team-based peer competition with a highly structured and publicly-accountable annotation process enhances student involvement and discussion, provides well-defined guidelines for critical reading of primary literature, and engages students in thinking about evidence and source identification in scientific statements. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The authors wish to thank Suzanne Aleksander and previous members of the CACAO team for their excellent technical support and dedication to the project. The authors would also like to express their acknowledgement to the SEA-PHAGES Program for their support, and to Allison A. Johnson, from Virginia Commonwealth University, and other SEA-PHAGES CACAO participants for their support in implementing this initiative. The authors would also like to thank the GO Consortium for help in prioritizing student ontology term requests and the EBI for help with importing CACAO annotations to the GOA corpus, as well as the National Institutes of Health for past support for development of CACAO and GONUTS. Finally, the authors would like to thank the participants in the ABLE 2017 workshop for many insightful comments and feedback to improve both the unit and this manuscript. | en_US |
