Outreach

The BHF-UCL team promotes GO annotation and curation in general, to the wider scientific community in a number of different ways.

MSc Genetics of Human Diseases core module	Understanding bioinformatics resources and their application. This module covers a variety of essential online genomic and proteomic resources and introduces Gene Ontology, gene regulation and protein structure. Students will gain experience in using these online resources and in the review of the scientific literature. The BHF-UCL team are the module organisers
2 day Gene Ontology Annotation workshop	This workshop is aimed at training expert scientists in GO annotation and to encourage their future participation in GO annotation. The BHF-UCL team organised this workshop, with support from UCL Genetics Institute.
Demonstration to undergraduate students	Gene Ontology Annotation, a practical presentation of GO to third year BSc students, as part of the BIOC3005, Cellular Regulation and Biotechnology module, organised by Andrea Townsend-Nicholson.
Meetings	Presentations and posters at meetings provide an excellent forum to promote GO and the Cardiovascular GO annotation initiative.
Publications	Articles published in scientific journals also serve to promote GO and the Cardiovascular GO annotation initiative.
