QuickGO API

Overview

QuickGO is the EBI's fast browser and API for Gene Ontology (GO) annotations — the standard framework for describing gene/protein functions across all organisms. It provides access to 800M+ GO annotations covering biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components. Essential for functional genomics, pathway analysis, and gene set enrichment. Free, no authentication.
