Gene Ontology (GO)
The Gene Ontology (GO) is a major bioinformatics initiative to standardize the representation of gene and gene product attributes across species, databases, and data types. It provides controlled vocabularies (ontologies) for describing molecular functions, cellular components, and biological processes associated with gene products.
