What are the Gene Ontology™ (GO) annotations? Are GO annotations provided for all GeneChip® expression arrays?

The GO consortium provides controlled vocabularies for the description of the molecular function, biological process, and cellular component of gene products.

Currently, GO classifications are available for the Human (U133, U95, HuGeneFL, HC-G110), Murine (U74, Mu11k, Mu19k), Drosophila, Arabidopsis, and Yeast GeneChip® arrays. The Analysis Center also provides hyperlinks to the AMIGO and QuickGO browsers, enabling you to view the complete hierarchy for all the GO terms associated with the probe sets.
