TL;DR: The Gene Ontology (GO) project as discussed by the authors provides structured, controlled vocabularies and classifications that cover several domains of molecular and cellular biology and are freely available for community use in the annotation of genes, gene products and sequences.

TL;DR: The organization of the Saccharomyces Genome Database, the sources of the data stored in SGD, some methods for retrieving information from the database, connections SGD has with outside databases and non-yeast research communities, and SGD's repository of yeast community information are described.

TL;DR: The Gene Ontology (GO) project provides structured, controlled vocabularies and classifications that cover several domains of molecular and cellular biology and are freely available for community use in the annotation of genes, gene products and sequences.

TL;DR: SGD is annotating genes to the Gene Ontology, a structured representation of biological knowledge that can be shared across species, to provide its users with annotations that will allow relationships to be made between gene products, both within Saccharomyces cerevisiae and across species.

TL;DR: The Saccharomyces Genome Database has recently developed several new resources that allow the comparison and integration of information on a genome-wide scale, enabling the user not only to find detailed information about individual genes, but also to make connections across groups of genes with common features and across different species.
