Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology
Abstract
Genomic sequencing has made it clear that a large fraction of the genes specifying the core biological functions are shared by all eukaryotes.
基因组测序已经明确表示,所有真核生物共用指定核心生物学功能的大部分基因。
Knowledge of the biological role of such shared proteins in one organism can often be transferred to other organisms.
一个有机体中这种共享蛋白质的生物学作用的知识通常可以“适用”到其他有机体。
The goal of the GeneOntology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.
GeneOntology联盟的目标是产生一个动态的、受控的词汇表,它可以应用于所有真核生物,即使细胞中基因和蛋白质角色的知识正在积累和变化。

- Else I would have run to him, and bid him kiss me now, before all the people; even as he did yonder among the dark old trees. 要不我就朝他跑过去,当着所有人的面要他亲我了——就象他在那片黑黑的老树林子里那样。

To this end, three independent ontologies accessible on the World-Wide Web(http://www.geneontology.org)) are being constructed: biological process, molecular function and
cellular component.
