Abstract

The Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC) produces a wealth of resources widely used throughout the scientific community. In this chapter, we discuss the different ways in which researchers can access the resources of the GOC. We here share details about the mechanics of obtaining GO annotations, both by manually browsing, querying, and downloading data from the GO website, as well as computationally accessing the resources from the command line, including the ability to restrict the data being retrieved to subsets with only certain attributes.
