How the QuickGO Dataset is Generated

GO Consortium Annotations

GO annotations from member groups of the GO Consortium may also be viewed in the AmiGO browser. However, the display of annotations between QuickGO and AmiGO can vary, due to the different update frequencies of the two tools plus the fact that QuickGO provides electronic (IEA-coded) annotations for all species in UniProtKB with GO annotations, while AmiGO only supplies electronic annotations for 12 model organism species. Additionally, it should be noted that UniProt-GOA only integrates manual annotations from external groups, and external annotations can only be incorporated where external sequence identifiers can be mapped to corresponding UniProtKB accession numbers and the GO identifier associated has not been made secondary.

PDB Gene Associations

QuickGO does not contain the GO annotations to PDB entries from the PDB Gene Association File since the entity annotated in this file is a protein structure rather than a protein. The PDB Gene Association File can be downloaded here
