About: (Database updated on August 1st 2005)

PhenoGO is a multiorganism database that provides phenotypic context, such as the cell type, disease, and tissue and organ to existing associations between gene products and Gene Ontology (GO) terms as specified in the Gene Ontology Annotations (GOA). Context to identifiers are mapped to general biological ontologies, including the Cell Ontology (CO), phenotypes from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), species from Taxonomy of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) taxonomy, and some specialized ontologies as Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) and Mouse Anatomy (MA).
