Hi,

During the transport work we made, and then fixed, a small incorrect 
edit that altered some annotations. As a consequence, we think you might 
possibly want to adjust your annotations to make them more granular. If 
you do not make the adjustment, the annotations will still be correct, 
they will just be less granular.

In more detail, during the transport work we erroneously merged a child 
term into its parent, and subsequently made a new child term that 
exactly replaced the term that had been subsumed in the merge. The 
annotations that were moved as a consequence of the merge are not now 
wrong, but they are no longer as granular as they were before. 
Specifically, the old term 'connexon channel activity' ; GO:0015285 has 
been subsumed into gap junction channel activity ; GO:0005243, and then 
connexon channel activity ; GO:0015285 was replaced with the new term 
'gap junction hemi-channel activity' ; GO:0055077 which is a part_of 
child of 'gap junction channel activity' ; GO:0005243. If you would like 
to take the annotations that were once to 'connexon channel activity' ; 
GO:0015285 and move them to 'gap junction hemi-channel activity '; 
GO:0055077 then that would put them back to their more granular state. 
If you leave them on 'gap junction channel activity'; GO:0005243 they 
will still be correct but will be less granular than they once were.

I hope we have not caused too much inconvenience with this edit. Please 
write back if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Jennifer
