Why do some gene annotations with multiple reviewers disagree on judgement or taxa assignment?
Annotations are based on the journal evidence reviewed. We did not perform an exhaustive review of all journal article evidence for a gene. Therefore, some reviewers chose different articles to review the same gene and made an assessment based on the evidence presented in these articles. Reviewers reviewing the same gene have endeavored to align their judgements into positive (a TF), negative (not a TF), and indeterminate judgement categories. A gene may belong to multiple functional taxa.
