Gene Characterisation Status Descriptions
Experimentally characterised: Completely or partially characterised in a small scale experiment, with some published information about the biological role (corresponding to any of the fission yeast GO slim biological process terms)
Role inferred from homology: A biological role (as above, a fission yeast GO slim term) is inferred from homology to an experimentally characterised gene product
Conserved protein (unknown biological role): Conserved outside the Schizosaccharomyces, but nothing known about the biological role in any organism
S. pombe specific families: Unpublished and found only in fission yeast (S. pombe, S. octospurus or S. japonicus); nothing known about biological role, but are not single copy (duplications in fission yeast)
Sequence orphans: Unpublished and found only in fission yeast (S. pombe, S. octospurus or S. japonicus); nothing known about biological role
Dubious: Unlikely to be protein coding
