TL;DR: Improvements and expansions to several branches of the Gene Ontology, as well as updates that have allowed us to more efficiently disseminate the GO and capture feedback from the research community are described.

TL;DR: GO-CAM, a new framework for representing gene function that is more expressive than standard GO annotations, has been released, and users can now explore the growing repository of these models.

TL;DR: The current contents of the GO knowledgebase are summarized, several new features and improvements that have been made to the ontology, the annotations and the tools are presented, and extensions to the resource are extended, increasing support for descriptions of causal models of biological systems and network biology.

TL;DR: The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium continues to develop, maintain and use a set of structured, controlled vocabularies for the annotation of genes, gene products and sequences and several new relationship types have been introduced and used to create links between and within the GO domains.

TL;DR: The Gene Ontology (GO) is a community bioinformatics resource that represents gene product function through the use of structured, controlled vocabularies and continues to expand and improve as a result of targeted ontology development.
