B2G-FAR, a species-centered GO annotation repository.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Functional genomics research has expanded enormously in the last decade thanks to the cost reduction in high-throughput technologies and the development of computational tools that generate, standardize and share information on gene and protein function such as the Gene Ontology (GO). Nevertheless, many biologists, especially working with non-model organisms, still suffer from non-existing or low-coverage functional annotation, or simply struggle retrieving, summarizing and querying these data.

Results

The Blast2GO Functional Annotation Repository (B2G-FAR) is a bioinformatics resource envisaged to provide functional information for otherwise uncharacterized sequence data and offers data mining tools to analyze a larger repertoire of species than currently available. This new annotation resource has been created by applying the Blast2GO functional annotation engine in a strongly high-throughput manner to the entire space of public available sequences. The resulting repository contains GO term predictions for over 13.2 million non-redundant protein sequences based on BLAST search alignments from the SIMAP database. We generated GO annotation for approximately 150 000 different taxa making available 2000 species with the highest coverage through B2G-FAR. A second section within B2G-FAR holds functional annotations for 17 non-model organism Affymetrix GeneChips.

Conclusions

B2G-FAR provides easy access to exhaustive functional annotation for 2000 species offering a good balance between quality and quantity, thereby supporting functional genomics research especially in the case of non-model organisms.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Quality of service provision in health facilities is fundamental to ensure effective care. However, women's actual experience of care is often neglected. OBJECTIVE:To assess perceived quality of institutional delivery services and associated factors among women who delivered in public health facilities of Southwest Ethiopia. METHOD:Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in three districts of Jimma zone, Southwestern Ethiopia, from February 29 to March 20, 2016. A total of 423 mothers who delivered in public health facilities during the last 12 months were selected to participate in the study. Study participants were identified using simple random sampling procedure. Principal component analysis was used to generate scores for three sub-dimensions of perceived quality. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of these sub-dimensions. RESULTS:Perceived quality of institutional delivery services was measured with three dimensions: perceived interpersonal interaction, health care delivery and health facility/structure. We found that perceived quality of interpersonal interaction was negatively affected by educational level (read and write) (?: -0.331, 95% CI: -0.523, -0.140), urban residence (?: -0.485, 95% CI: -0.696, -0.275), antenatal care (less than three visits) (?: -0.238, 95% CI: -0.419,-0.056) and delivery service attended by male provider (?: -1.286, 95% CI: -1.463,-1.109). Perceived quality of health care delivery was negatively associated with still birth (?: -0.642, 95% CI: -1.092,-0.193) and delivery services attended by male provider (?: -0.689, 95% CI: -0.907,-0.472). Urban residence (?: -0.260, 95% CI: -0.515,-0.005), and antenatal care (less than three visits) (?: -0.394, 95% CI: -0.628,-0.161) were negatively associated with perceived quality of health facility/structure. CONCLUSION:Overall, the perceived quality of institutional delivery services was low. We recommend that health managers and health care providers jointly work to transform birth care at the health facilities to deliver person-centered care. Addressing the preferences of clients is as important as taking care of structural concerns pinpointed in this study.
