I want to look only at mouse/rat/zebrafish/arabidopsis GO annotations – which file should I use to get the fullest set of GO annotations for this species?
In the GO Consortium there are a number of model organism groups which provide association files containing annotations for their species, these groups are the authoritative repository for their particular species. In these files, annotations will be associated to the protein/gene identifier of the corresponding model organism group. These groups also integrate annotations from other GO annotation sources such as UniProtKB-GOA (a multi-species resource) on a regular basis. The UniProtKB-GOA group also provides a number of species specific files (for the human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, arabidopsis, chicken and cow proteomes), these are created using the International Protein Index (IPI), which provides a non-redundant yet maximally complete set of sequences from the main databases that describe the proteomes of higher eukaryotic organisms. At each monthly release, UniProtKB-GOA integrates annotations from all other GO Consortium groups, as well as a number of external annotating groups (s
