        "note": "The Gene Ontology (GO) is the standard vocabulary for gene-product function, in three aspects — molecular function, biological process and cellular component. EMBL-EBI's QuickGO links genes and proteins to the GO terms that describe them. /v1/annotations?gene=P04637 = the GO annotations for a gene/protein (pass a UniProt accession), each with the GO id and name, aspect, qualifier, evidence code, supporting reference (e.g. a PMID), organism and who assigned it — optionally filter by aspect=molecular_function|biological_process|cellular_component or taxon=9606 (NCBI taxon id); /v1/term?id=GO:0003677 = a GO term's definition, aspect, synonyms and child count (you may pass just the 7 digits); /v1/search?q=apoptosis = search GO terms by name, returning matching GO ids, names and aspects. Data from EMBL-EBI QuickGO / the GO Consortium (CC BY 4.0). A gene-function annotation resource (which genes have which functions, with evidence) — distinct from generic ontology-term lookup (OLS). Ideal for bioinformatics, functional-genomics, enrichment and annotation tools.",
