Gene Ontology Data Archive

The Gene Ontology archive provides GO data - ontology, annotations, and associated files - starting from March 2004. The archive was built from the legacy GO CVS, SVN and archive products to reconstruct GO releases on a monthly basis, similar to our current release cycle. The file structure and file format were made consistent with the current GO monthly releases produced since 2018.

File structure and format are further described in the [ GO Archive documentation ].
Questions or suggestions can be sent to the [ GO Helpdesk ].

Note: users are encouraged to cite the date of the GO release (e.g. 2005-04-01) used in their analysis to enable the reproducibility of their experiments.
