In genetics, the process of identifying the locations and coding regions of genes in a genome and determining what those genes do. To annotate (irrespective of the context) is to add a note by way of explanation or commentary. Once a genome is sequenced, it needs to be annotated to make sense of it.

At SGD, annotation refers to information that has been extracted from the literature and associated, on the database pages, with various aspects of an S. cerevisiae gene or chromosomal feature. SGD makes several types of annotations, such as GO, Sequence, and Literature Guide annotations.

After sequencing, assembly, and finishing, the process of characterizing expression patterns of representative FLcDNAs and assigning a specific structure and function to each gene.  

Analysis and commentary added to sequence data in databases. Annotation provides in-context information about coding and non-coding sequence within genes, patterning and motifs, similarities, known or predicted protein structure and function, as well as links to external data, such as clinical observations.

An annotation appears in source code and is attached to some part of the syntax. Annotations are computer processable, so you can use them to effectively add an extension to Scala.

1. <computer programming, compiler> Extra information associated with a particular point in a document or program. Annotations may be added either by a compiler or by the programmer.
