Gene Ontology Annotation Database

Abbreviation:GOA

Recommended

General Information

The GO Annotation Database (GOA) provides Gene Ontology (GO) annotations to proteins in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB), RNA molecules from RNACentral and protein complexes from the Complex Portal. GOA files contain a mixture of manual annotation supplied by members of the Gene Onotology Consortium and computationally assigned GO terms describing gene products. Annotation type is clearly indicated by associated evidence codes and there are links to the source data.

	'description' has been modified:
		Before: The GOA (Gene Ontology Annotation) project provides high-quality Gene Ontology (GO) annotations to proteins in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) and International Protein Index (IPI). This involves electronic annotation and the integration of high-quality manual GO annotation from all GO Consortium model organism groups and specialist groups.
