Japanese term or phrase: アノテーションが付与された
Hi All,

We are working on a patent document and we are frequently encountering the phrase "アノテーションが付与された". Can anybody please help us to understand whether it means "annotations are bestowed on the candidate genes, or given to them, or adhered to them? Also is it a supplementary genes or candidate genes, is there any standard technical term they use? "

Source: 一の遺伝子又はタンパク質に該情報から得られた複数のアノテーションが付与されたデータウェアハウスから、候補遺伝子又は候補タンパク 質に付与されたアノテーションを収集させる手順

Suggested Translation: It has a means (Device) to collect those annotations which are bestowed on the candidate genes or the candidate proteins from the data warehouse to which a multiple annotations are bestowed and which are acquired from the information relevant to a single gene or protein.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Warm Regards

Explanation:
This is not my field of expertise, but in the reading that I did upon seeing your question, I found that the verb "annotate" was used more often than an expression such as "assign an annotation", and "annotations for a gene" rather than "annotations associated with a gene". That said, I propose the following for the sample passage that you provided:

A procedure by which annotations for a candidate gene or candidate protein are collected from a data warehouse in which a gene or protein has multiple associated annotations that were obtained from the afore-mentioned information

I am guessing that there was some previous mention of the research databases that are sources of annotation data.

The reference below discusses the concept of "candidate genes" in the context of autism research.
