How to Contact GO





To follow the development of the Gene Ontology project, several e-mail lists are available, described below. Please send questions or suggestions to go@geneontology.org. If you have questions or suggestions that you do not wish to become part of the public mail archive, then you may use this private address go-in@ebi.ac.uk, which is read only by Midori Harris, the GO Editor. You may contact also contact specific people in the GO Consortium member organizations or in financial supporters of GO from the list of contact people below.

Email Lists

GO Discussion list for Gene Ontology Consortium members. Archives of these messages are available from the GO email archive.
GOFRIENDS Public announcements related to the GO Project are distributed to this email list and are available from the GOFRIENDS email archive.
GO-DIFF The ontologies evolve daily. To receive an automatically generated daily report on the changes to the Gene Ontology, subscribe to the GO-DIFF email list. These reports are generated from the source files within the GO CVS repository every morning.
GO-DATABASE Public discussions about the GO database are separate from the above lists and are available from the GO-Database Archive.




GO Contact People

Development of the Gene Ontologies is spearheaded and coordinated by Midori Harris and Michael Ashburner. People in member organizations participate in ontology development as well as focus on the curation and annotation issues relevant to their organization. A more complete list of people involved in the GO project is on the GO people page.

Most software questions should be addressed to members of the BDGP software group directed by Suzanna Lewis. Problems with the web site, such as broken links, and questions about the CVS repository or FTP site can be directed to members of the SGD group, directed by Mike Cherry, or to webmaster@geneontology.org.
