Gene Ontology (GO) Terms for NCBI RefSeq Eukaryotic Genomes

Gene Ontology (GO) Terms for NCBI RefSeq Eukaryotic Genomes

Are you interested in more functional information about protein-coding genes? We’ve expanded NCBI RefSeq’s Eukaryote Genome Annotation Pipeline (EGAP) to include Gene Ontology (GO) terms computed for most protein-coding genes. We are using the latest version of InterProScan, which now includes analysis based on PANTHER reference trees, on all NCBI RefSeq eukaryotic genomes. That means having comprehensive GO data with inferred biological process, molecular function, and cellular component terms matched with high-quality RefSeq annotations across hundreds of taxa to help drive your research. The data is available on individual records in NCBI’s Gene resource, NCBI Gene FTP, or in community standard .gaf formatted files with each RefSeq genome release on our FTP site.  Continue reading “Gene Ontology (GO) Terms for NCBI RefSeq Eukaryotic Genomes”

Revolutionize your research with the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR)

Revolutionize your research with the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR)

Unlock the full potential of eukaryotic research organisms and their genomic data with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR). CGR facilitates reliable comparative genomics analyses through community collaboration as well as an NCBI toolkit of interconnected, interoperable data and tools.   

Comparative genomics is a field of study that uses the genomes of many different organisms to help us understand basic biological processes and human disease. NCBI is developing CGR to help researchers take full advantage of the rapidly growing number of eukaryotic organisms that, due to recent technological advances, now have sequenced genomes and associated data that can be used in these types of studies. Its NCBI toolkit offers new and modern resources for such analyses, and its emphasis on community collaboration brings new opportunities to share and connect data.   Continue reading “Revolutionize your research with the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR)”
