<annotation>
Annotation in a Citation
Commentary, summary, review, or similar non-bibliographic information concerning the cited work.
Remarks
While most citations simply provide the bibliographic information for a cited reference, a few describe the work, categorize the work, comment upon the nature or quality of the work, or summarize its findings. The <annotation> element is intended to hold such commentary.
Display/Formatting Note: All of the other reference elements are inline elements. In contrast, an <annotation> is typically presented as a block element, with space before and after it.

<p>This report is the most extensive DNA expression
profile of yeast genes. It examines the expression
pattern of the whole yeast genome in 300 mutant
strains. It infers the function of many unknown
genes comparing profiles among the different
mutants.</p>
