Evidence Collection: Experimental Evidence

The top section of the curation interface shows the publication currently being curated.

First, identify the type of experimental evidence presented in the publication. The following evidence types are supported in the GCI:

• Biochemical Function Evidence

• Protein Interactions Evidence

• Expression Evidence

• Functional Alteration Evidence

• Model Systems Evidence

• Rescue Evidence

For specific experimental evidence examples, see Appendix B of the SOP.

Select the appropriate experiment type from the dropdown menu. Depending on this selection, different options for data entry will appear next.

Regardless of the experiment type, an experiment name is one of the required inputs. You can optionally associate a specific variant with each experiment. Finally, select whether the experimental evidence should be scored, brought up for review by the GCEP, or contradicts the gene-disease association.
