Can biological process annotations describing the interaction between organisms be made using data acquired by transgenic expression of symbiont gene products in the host?
Data from transgenic expression of symbiont genes in the host is being used to determine cellular locations and molecular functions of the symbiont gene products. However, it has been decided that biological process annotations will only be made when the gene product is delivered to the host by the symbiont. In the case of Type III effectors this implies delivery by the T3SS.
