Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Here, we present a protocol for creating a gene dictionary for fungal mitochondrial genomes using the Gene Dictionary Tool. Through a Python Command Line Interface (CLI), the user identifies what annotations are missing in the inputted dictionary. Via two Jupyter Notebooks, the user builds a gene dictionary based on attributes retrieved from inputted GFF3 files. The final output, a .gdict file, is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). This protocol can be adapted to create a gene dictionary for other genomes. • Protocol for creating a comprehensive and versionable gene dictionary across genomes • Guidance on how to use and implement the gdt Python library • Steps for the iterative creation of gene dictionaries for organelle genomes • Instructions on how to process genome features with poor identifying information Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
