The "genome map" is released! What? Ah, the ontology annotations were announced. The most informative take is at livemint and -- hold it, it says CSIR to unveil gene map (at www.osdd.net) -- so, no, not much really happened except that we know now that to-be-published annotations can be edited Wikipedia-style later. I'm quite sure, however, that most genes already have some annotation now in the putative official version.

I'll grab the opportunity to publish data about my private annotation effort which is about halfway through. I have looked at 350 papers of which 240 are now annotated, yielding 810 annotations of 350 gene products. Not even ten percent of the genome.
