Description
Ashburner M. et al. Gene ontology: tool for the unification of biology. The Gene Ontology Consortium. Nat Genet. 25(1):25-29 (2000).
provides a controlled vocabulary to describe attributes of gene products. GO contains three ontologies that describe the molecular functions, biological processes, and cellular components of proteins.
