GENE ONTOLOGY CONSORTIUM

描述（改编自研究者摘要）：基因的目标 Ontology（GO）联盟的目标是为 任何生物体中基因产物的生物学描述。这项工作包括 建立三个广泛的本体论;分子功能，生物学， 过程和细胞成分。这些术语将用于注释基因 联合体成员数据库中的产品。此外，存储库数据库 和公共网页将被创建，以允许查询这些术语， 模式生物数据库提供的注释数据集。 GO联盟成立于1998年，目前由三个组织合作 模式生物数据库：FlyBase、酵母基因组数据库（SGD）和 小鼠基因组信息学数据库（MGD/GXD）。我们的目的是 由其他注释基因属性的人加入的联盟 其他物种的产品。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): The goal of the Gene Ontology (GO) consortium is to provide shared, structured vocabularies for the biological description of gene products in any organism. This work includes building three extensive ontologies; those for molecular function, biological process and cellular components. These terms will be used to annotate gene products in databases of the consortium members. Further, a repository database and public Web pages will be created to allow querying for these terms across annotated datasets provided by the model organism databases. The GO consortium, initiated in 1998, is currently a collaboration among three model organism databases: FlyBase, the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD), and the Mouse Genome Informatics databases (MGD/GXD). It is our intention for this consortium to be joined by others who are annotating attributes of gene products for other species.
