The Gene Ontology's Reference Genome Project: a unified framework for functional annotation across species.

The Gene Ontology (GO) is a collaborative effort that provides structured vocabularies for annotating the molecular function, biological role, and cellular location of gene products in a highly systematic way and in a species-neutral manner with the aim of unifying the representation of gene functio...
