Gene Ontology (GO) provides a way to describe the molecular function, biological process and cellular component of a gene or it's protein product in a species independent way. There are a limited number of terms for which the relations between terms are known to facilitate computational analysis.
GO terms can be derived experimentally or can be inferred through computational studies, the evidence tag provides details how a term was obtained.
