[Gofriends] Best practice for integration of GO annotation ?

[Midori Harris]

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in GO. Although the OBO format version of GO 
is authoritative, if you need only term names and IDs, we have a simple ID 
-> name, ontology mapping file available:

   http://www.geneontology.org/doc/GO.terms_and_ids

Tab-delimited flat files of GO annotations from the GO repository from 
this web page:

   http://www.geneontology.org/GO.current.annotations.shtml

Or, if you prefer, the same files are available by FTP and anonymous CVS, 
as described here:

   http://www.geneontology.org/GO.downloads.ftp.cvs.shtml

The file format is documented here:
