DO - 10.17912/micropub.biology.000420 UR - http://beta.micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropub-biology-000420/ AB - Although D. discoideum is an excellent model organism for many mammalian processes and disease states, large portions of its genome that could be useful for research remain uncharacterized. For instance, of the 11,088 protein coding genes in the D. discoideum genome that are not annotated as transposable elements or pseudogenes (Fey et al., 2019), the predicted amino acid sequence of 1,514 proteins are not similar enough to any known protein to receive a GO term, although many initiatives for experimental, large scale manual, and electronic annotations exist (Gene Ontology consortium, 2021).
