Our curators continue to be mislead by the IMP evidence code
documentation. The second bullet states that the following is acceptable
usage for IMP.
Overexpression/ectopic expression of wild-type or mutant genes
I think we have all agreed for the better part of a year now that we use
IDA when a wild-type mRNA is introduced into a cell (for example) and
something is deduced from the effect of this. In contrast we use IMP
when a mutant mRNA, inlcuding a constitutively active mutant mRNA, is
introduced into a cell.
Can I make one final plea that this doc be updated ASAP to reduce curator
confusion.....pleeeeeeaase??
Many thanks,
Doug
