TL;DR
This chapter provides a concise primer for all users of the Gene Ontology, briefly introducing the structure of the ontology and explaining how to interpret annotations associated with the GO.
Abstract
The Gene Ontology (GO) project is the largest resource for cataloguing gene function. The combination of solid conceptual underpinnings and a practical set of features have made the GO a widely adopted resource in the research community and an essential resource for data analysis. In this chapter, we provide a concise primer for all users of the GO. We briefly introduce the structure of the ontology and explain how to interpret annotations associated with the GO.
