[Go] GO terms as Genbank qualifiers

[Magdalen Lindeberg]

As part of a major upgrade to the NCBI annotation records for Pseudomonas 
syringae I have been planning on  inputting the GO annotations that were 
generated for P. syringae virulence factors as part of the PAMGO project.

However, the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank Feature Table Definitions (Version 8  Oct 
2008) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/collab/FT/index.html#7.4.1
no longer includes the /GO_[ontology] qualifiers formerly listed there.

My question to anyone who has been involved in inputting GO annotations to 
NCBI records, is the /db_xref="GO:######" qualifier now the only option for 
capturing GO annotations?

thanks,
Magdalen
