Function called for some but not all members of pham

| posted 24 Apr, 2016 18:17
If there is a function assigned to a gene in Phamerator for some Phage (but not many) can we assume this is a function that can be assigned?

Specifically, gp14 of mycobacterioum Swish is annotated as a SAP domain. I do not see SAP domain on the 2015 function assignment list though.
Thanks

In general, we have been trying to move away from using three letter abbreviations in the majority our functional assignments, so please don't use 'SAP domain'.
If you have good evidence for a function that is not on the approved list, please feel free to assign a gene that function, just make sure you write it out clearly.
However, please make a note of it in your cover sheet for the annotation, so SMART can take a careful look and decide if it should get added to next year's approved list.

Thanks for the question!
