[Gofriends] April 2008 GOA release

[Daniel Barrell]

GOA releases: April 2008
============================

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/

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

		(the last two will be updated overnight)

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

The GOA group has started to produce, in collaboration with the British 
Heart Foundation-funded Cardiovascular Gene Ontology Annotation 
Initiative, a BHF-UCL gene association file, which contains all GO 
annotations for 4,027 human proteins implicated in cardiovascular 
development or disease.  The BHF-UCL file is a sub-set of the UniProt 
gene association file, and will provide the cardiovascular community 
with a discrete set of relevant GO annotations. This file will be 
updated by GOA monthly and can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/GO/goa/bhf-ucl/gene_association.goa_bhf-ucl.gz

The University College London based Gene Ontology Annotation Initiative 
aims to prioritise the manual annotation of genes associated with the 
cardiovascular system, for further information on this project, please see:
