The data in dictyBase is under scientific curation to insure correct annotations. A dictyBase curator makes sure all genes have names and are associated with the correct gene products, gene ontology terms, and literature. Curators also write short gene summaries and curate the literature by assigning the papers to one or more literature topics. This curation results in an integration of the experimentally derived biological information with genomic data.
