[Gofriends] GOA release [2009-10-08]

[Tony Sawford]

GOA releases: 08 October 2009
=============================

GOA (GO Annotation at EBI) is a project run by the European Bioinformatics
Institute that provides assignments of gene products to the Gene
Ontology (GO) resource.

The data can be obtained via:

           EBI FTP: ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/GO/goa/

           EBI SRS: http://srs.ebi.ac.uk. Search GOA data library

           GO FTP: ftp://ftp.geneontology.org/pub/go/gene-associations/

           GO CVS: http://www.geneontology.org/GO.CVS.help.html

For further information read: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA or contact
goa at ebi.ac.uk.

Please note that the contents of the gene_association.goa_pdb file has
changed as of this release, as GOA is no longer able to provide
annotations to specific PDB chains. In future annotations in this file
will only associate PDB entries with GO terms. As an example, an
annotation line in the PDB file has changed from:

PDB     102M_A  q_A          GO:0005506      GOA:interpro    IEA
InterPro:IPR000971      F                       protein_structure
  taxon:9755 20090629        UniProtKB

to:

PDB     102M    102M          GO:0005506      GOA:interpro    IEA
InterPro:IPR000971      F                       protein_structure
taxon:9755       20091001        UniProtKB

Please contact us if this change is of concern.
