Gene Ontology overview The Gene Ontology (GO) is a structured, standardized representation of biological knowledge. GO describes concepts (also known as terms, or formally, classes) that are connected to each other via formally defined relations. The GO is designed to be species-agnostic to enable the annotation of gene products across the entire tree of life. The computational framework of the GO enables consistent gene annotation, comparison of functions across organisms, and integration of knowledge across diverse biological databases.
