Welcome to the 10th Newsletter outlining the progress of the Renal GO Annotation Initiative http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/kidney/newsletter/RenalGOANewsOct2011.pdf

The Renal GO Annotation Initiative aims to provide a unique public resource for renal
research by generating a detailed functional dataset for mammalian gene
products implicated in kidney development, function and disease. The Gene Ontology
(GO) vocabulary is the established standard for the functional
annotation of gene products. By using the GO to curate scientific
literature and by integrating results from high-quality high-throughput
experiments, we will create an information-rich resource for the renal
research community, enabling scientists to rapidly evaluate and
interpret existing data and generate hypotheses to guide future research
in the quest to alleviate renal disease.
