Condensates: GO and annotation audit
Supporting page for Biomolecular Condensates. Every table below is
generated, not hand-written:
uv run python projects/CONDENSATES/scripts/scan_condensate_annotations.py
Rerun it after corpus changes and replace the tables wholesale. The script takes ~4 minutes
over the full genes/ tree.
Scope of the term list
The script scans a hand-curated list of condensate-space GO terms. It has to: GO has no
biomolecular condensate class to enumerate descendants from. The obvious substitute,
GO:0043228 membraneless organelle, is too broad — checking hierarchical ancestors via OLS
confirms that both the ribosome (GO:0005840) and the cytoskeleton (GO:0005856) are
descendants of GO:0043232 intracellular membraneless organelle. Neither is a
phase-separated condensate.
The same check shows GO:0000407 phagophore assembly site is not a descendant of
GO:0043228, despite the PAS being a liquid-like Atg-protein condensate. It is included in
the list on biological grounds, not ontological ones.
Two parent terms (GO:0043228, GO:0043232) are scanned only to show how rarely they are
used directly.
Reading the tables
- GOA coverage counts gene folders whose
*-goa.tsvmentions the term, not
annotations — a gene with four nucleolus annotations counts once. - Review outcomes counts annotations in
*-ai-review.yaml, so the totals are larger.
It includesNEWannotations proposed by reviewers, which is why some terms show more
reviewed annotations than GOA-annotated genes. - Term labels are as of the scan date; the audit does not resolve them live.
