Contribution to the Project

Biocuration activities related to the identification of mammalian sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factors (DbTFs) based on Gene Ontology (GO) Molecular Function (MF) terms;
Refactoring of the structure of the GO MF Ontology specifically related to
transcription factor activity (in collaboration with Astrid Lægreid and GO members)

Refactoring of the PSI-MI Controlled Vocabulary to add new terms describing transcription-related causal interactions for the CausalTAB (PSI-MITAB 2.8) (preprint paper at bioRxiv here)
Revamping of the TFCheckpoint database (still under construction; new version will be soon available)
Text-mining of DbTF-TG causal interactions from biomedical literature (in collaboration with Martin Krallinger from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) and Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)
