Definition?
[edit]I would expect an article to start with definition, it starts with structure of the project. First what is it then how it works. --ArazZeynili 14:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I second that. That's what I was searching for initially. I suppose one could infer the meaning, but still... la gaie 23:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe you're confusing AMIGO or something similar with what GO actually is? GO is a set of ontologies, as described in the first two paragraphs. Why talk about what GO is used for before saying what it is? Just my 2-cents :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.146.118 (talk) 05:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the assertion that this article requires a definitive section. However, like all things in biology, a definition of anything is usually a function of evolution. Now that's a spanner in the ontological works. ;) But seriously, yes there needs to be a clear and concise way of explaining what the whole idea of Gene Ontology is and what it all means, in one or two sentences. Perhaps one of us can synthesise an explanation. Most biologists get so good at dealing with vast complexity that simplification becomes a secondary priority, and sometimes limiting. But the subject could benefit from construction of simple didactic 'ontologies'. Shinyapple (talk) 23:14, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Requested move
[edit]- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 17:01, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Gene Ontology → Gene ontology – There is no reason to use a capital letter in this case. Keepsgames (talk) 06:52, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Recent attempted update of this page, some info was almost 10 years old
[edit]The Gene Ontology has grown somewhat beyond what this wiki page described it as 10 years ago. I've tried to update it, but many of the tools and links are now dead (SF was abandoned maybe 5 years ago, we don't support SQL anymore, etc.) and I'm not really great at wiki markup to change everything according to Wikipedia standards. I have 1-2 more sources for some of the changes I've suggested (well, made); if I've missed a citation please email the GO helpdesk. For example, the licence is CC by 4.0 (http://geneontology.org/docs/go-citation-policy/), there's also a full release and a holey BDBag at Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/3267438 and the move to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Gene_Ontology would indeed be appropriate as the official name is a proper noun: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6323945/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.66.212.131 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 2019 August 2 (UTC)
