ProThesaurus-Wiki adds GO database and GO evidences

The ProThesaurus-Wiki contains in its newest release the complete GO database. For each GO identifier/term there is a category page which lists all
  • parent categories (i.e. GO terms)
  • subcategories (i.e. subordinated GO terms)
  • part of-relations
  • annotated genes/proteins
  • comments
  • cross references
  • synonyms
In addition, each GO annotation for a gene/protein mentions the sources of evidence (e.g. the SwissProt database entry) and the GO evidence code. For each protein/gene name synonym there is also a list of sources.

Finally, the database was updated with the newest database identifiers and synonyms.
