Hardin Open Workshops: Gene Ontology Online
Tuesday, November 19, 2019, 1:00pm to 2:00pm
This workshop introduces you to the Gene Ontology (GO) framework.

GO, in contrast, is a controlled language that enables describing molecular functions, cellular components, and biological processes across species. Thus, it highlights similarities between observations, avoids ambiguity, and...
