Gene Ontology API
Gene function as an API — powered by EMBL-EBI's QuickGO and the Gene Ontology (GO), the standard vocabulary that describes what gene products do across three aspects: molecular function, biological process and cellular component. Given a gene or protein (a UniProt accession), list every GO annotation made for it — the GO term, its aspect, the qualifier, the evidence code, the supporting reference (e.g. a PubMed id), the organism and who assigned it — optionally filtered by aspect or organism. Look up any GO term to get its definition, aspect, synonyms and number of child terms; and search the ontology by name to find the right GO terms. GO term names are resolved automatically on annotations. From TP53 to any protein in any species, it is the backbone of functional genomics — ideal for enrichment analysis, annotation pipelines, bioinformatics and research tools. A gene-function annotation resource (which genes have which functions, with evidence) — distinct from generic ontology-term lookup. Open data from EMBL-EBI QuickGO and the GO Consortium (CC BY 4.0).
