GOA releases: August 2007
=======================

GOA (GO Annotation at EBI) is a project run by the European Bioinformatics
Institute that aims to provide 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/ ` 
   (updated over the weekend)

           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.

Note: In this months release IEA assignments based on Swiss-Prot keyword
assignments have increased due to more manual mappings, while mappings to
Enzyme Commission numbers has dropped. The latter decrease is under
investigation and may be related to a forthcoming EC number format change
at UniProtKB. Partial EC numbers where dashes replace part of the complete
EC number (e.g. EC 3.4.24.-) are currently used for 2 different cases:
- when the catalytic activity of the protein is not known exactly
- when the protein catalyzes a reaction that is known but not yet included
in the IUBMB EC list. To distinguish between these two meanings, UniProtKB
will soon start to use the letter 'n' instead of a dash for the latter
case.
