Alliance of Genome Resources Gene Descriptions

Tab separated formatted spreadsheets of automated gene descriptions from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Gene descriptions are generated by an algorithm developed by the Alliance that uses highly structured gene data such as associations to various ontology terms (e.g., Gene Ontology terms) and the Alliance strict orthology set. The original set of ontology terms that a gene is annotated to may have been trimmed to an ancestor term in the ontology in order to balance readability with the amount of information in the description.

File includes annotations for the following organisms:

• Homo sapiens (human; NCBI:txid 9606)
• Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode; NCBI:txid 6239)
• Danio rerio (zebrafish;NCBI:txid 7955)
• Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly; NCBI:txid 7227)
• Mus musculus (mouse; NCBI:txid10090)
• Rattus norvegicus (rat; NCBI:txid 10116)
• Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast; NCBI:txid 559292)
• Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog; NCBI:txid 8355)
• Xenopus tropicalis (Western clawed frog; NCBI:txid 8364)
