The GOA (Gene Ontology Annotation) project provides high-quality Gene Ontology (GO) annotations to proteins in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) and International Protein Index (IPI). This involves electronic annotation and the integration of high-quality manual GO annotation from all GO Consortium model organism groups and specialist groups.

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the uniprot prefix. For all use cases, you should use uniprot instead of goa.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Gene Ontology Annotation Database should match this regular expression:
^(([A-N,R-Z][0-9][A-Z][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([O,P,Q][0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9]))|(URS[0-9A-F]{10}(_[0-9]+){0,1})|(EBI-[0-9]+)$

Example Local Unique Identifier
P12345   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Gene Ontology Annotation Database should match this regular expression:
^goa:(([A-N,R-Z][0-9][A-Z][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([O,P,Q][0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9]))|(URS[0-9A-F]{10}(_[0-9]+){0,1})|(EBI-[0-9]+)$

Example CURIE
goa:P12345

Providers

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier P12345 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Gene Ontology Annotation Database. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Extra Providers

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
