Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) Database


The GOA project aims to provide high-quality Gene Ontology (GO) annotations to proteins in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) and International Protein Index (IPI) and is a central dataset for other major multi-species databases; such as Ensembl and NCBI.

GOA has been a member of the GO Consortium since 2001, and is responsible for the integration and release of GO annotations to the human, chicken and cow proteomes. Because of the multi-species nature of the UniProtKB, GOA also assists in the curation of another 200,000 species. This involves electronic annotation and the integration of high-quality manual GO annotation from all GO Consortium model organism groups and specialist groups. This effort ensures that the GOA dataset remain a key reference and a comprehensive source of GO annotation for all species.

For fast access to the Gene Ontology terms and annotations, please use our QuickGO browser.

Latest GOA news

 GOA News.
We are pleased to announce that this release of GOA gene association files excludes annotations that apply a secondary or obsolete UniProtKB accession number
in either column 2 (DB_Object_ID) or column 8 (With).
This has meant that 3,929 (4.5%) manual annotations integrated from external annotation groups have been filtered from GOA files. We are working closely with
all collaborating databases to help ensure that their set of UniProtKB accessions are regularly updated to valid primary UniProtKB accessions.
