Community Assessment of Community Annotation with Ontologies Competition
- The Community Assessment of Community Annotation with Ontologies () is a multi-institution competition for teams of undergraduate students around the world to improve GO annotation of genes.
- Manual annotation is a time-consuming and costly process, requiring trained curators. With this in mind, the CACAO competition (developed and organised by Texas A&M University) trains large numbers of undergrads in GO annotation, within a friendly and fun, competitive environment.Ìý
- CACAO teaches students how to read scientific literature and make correct, high-quality annotations. In CACAO, student teams get points for making correct annotations, but can also 'steal' points from competing teams for spotting incorrect annotations.
