  • Analysis of errors in the GO associations of PANTHER and FlyBase. The “total number of incorrect associations” is the total count of associations judged to be incorrect, regardless of whether the associations are assigned to the same protein or not. The “number of proteins with at least one incorrect association” is the total count of proteins with at least one association judged to be incorrect. Because one protein can have more than one association, this number can be different from “total number of incorrect associations.” The “association error rate” is the number of incorrect associations divided by the total number of associations analyzed. The “protein error rate” is the number of proteins with at least one incorrect association divided by the total number of proteins analyzed.
