How to download QuickGO records?

QuickGO Download fetches Gene Ontology term records by GO ID. It returns a JSON record with the term name, aspect, and definition when those fields are available.

Use this tool when you need stable GO term metadata for functional annotation, enrichment results, reports, or protein function workflows.

Input	Description
`Entry ID`	Gene Ontology ID. Examples: `GO:0004672`, `GO:0008150`, `GO:0006915`.

Setting	Description
`Database`	Opens the selected database download tool.

Supported QuickGO downloads

File	Format	Use
JSON	`.json`	QuickGO term record for programmatic use.

Understanding the results

The results panel lists the QuickGO JSON file as a downloadable item. The Details tab records the database, GO ID, record title, file label, format, source type, filename, and URL.

Filenames follow the pattern:

Text

quickgo-GO-0004672-json.json

The term aspect indicates whether the term belongs to molecular function, biological process, or cellular component when the value is available.

Common use cases

Download GO term records for functional annotation reports.
Store ontology metadata with enrichment or pathway results.
Cross-check GO term names and definitions.
Keep stable functional identifiers with protein analysis outputs.

FAQ

What format should the GO ID use?

Use the standard GO: prefix followed by seven digits, such as GO:0004672.

Does this download protein annotations?

This tool downloads GO term records. It does not download every protein annotation associated with a term.

What does the aspect mean?

The aspect describes the ontology branch: molecular function, biological process, or cellular component.
