GORetriever is used to find all of the GO annotations corresponding to a list of user-supplied protein
identifiers.
Currently supported ID types are Uniprot ID, Uniprot Accession, GI Number and GO ID.
The Input IDs should be in a text file with one ID per line with each line separated by a line break(return).
The user can get GO annotations from a specific
organism or from several. To speed up the process, it is best to select a specific database.
GORetriever produces a list of proteins and their annotations and a
separate list of entries with no GO annotation. The list without GO annotations can be subsequently used as input for the GOanna tool that finds similar sequences with annotations (where they are available).
More information about the tool can be found here.
