GO Annotation

Loads gene association files that link GO terms to genes or proteins.

Types of data loaded#

genes, proteins, GO terms, publications, GO evidence

How to download the data#

The data is available from http://www.geneontology.org

Configuration file (optional)#

There is an optional configuration file that let's you determine which type of object you create, and which identifier field you set. If your annotation file annotates genes and uses the primary identifier, these are the default values and you do not need to update the configuration file.
