GOA -- The Gene Ontology Annotation Database

What you can do:
Search gene informations annotated based on the standardized vocabularies of Gene Ontology.
Highlights:
  • The Gene Ontology Annotation project provides high-quality electronic and manual associations (annotations) of Gene Ontology (GO) terms to UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) entries.
  • Annotations created by the project are collated with annotations from external databases to provide an extensive, publicly available GO annotation resource.
  • Currently covering over 160 000 taxa, with greater than 32 million annotations, GOA remains the largest and most comprehensive open-source contributor to the GO Consortium (GOC) project.
  • The group has augmented the number and coverage of their electronic pipelines and a number of new manual annotation projects and collaborations now further enhance this resource.
  • A range of files facilitate the download of annotations for particular species, and GO term information and associated annotations can also be viewed and downloaded from the newly developed GOA QuickGO tool (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO), which allows users to precisely tailor their annotation set.
