3. TAIR and Subscription Funding
• Grant funding has ceased.
• TAIR staff wanted to continue providing this
resource to the research community.
• No other projects are currently funded to
provide the literature-derived data that is
TAIR’s specialty.

8. Data Generation/Extraction
• Gene function data
– Experimental data extracted from 8,929 articles
– 56,976 experimental GO annotations from articles
– 11,595 genes annotated with GO using experimental data
• Several thousand articles with gene data still uncurated
9. What’s new?
Since Sept. 1, 2013: (10 months)
• New publications: 3835
• New annotations: 940
• New gene symbols: 573
• Genes with new annotations: 459
• Genes with new publications: 2476
10. Total: 33,602 genes
• >10K labs all over the world, grant $$$$
• Lots of experiments, lots of papers
• New gene and gene function predictions
• Predictions must be based on experimental
results
17. The Future

20. Special Minisymposium: Bioinformatic Resources for Plant Biology Research
This workshop will provide overviews of a variety of tools and resources likely to be of interest to plant biology
researchers. In addition to this workshop, the presenters will also be co-hosting two booths in the Exhibitors Area
and will be present to answer questions, etc.
