[Bioperl-l] Need help for a GO request

[Brian Osborne]

C.,

There are different approaches, depending on what your accessions are. If
your accessions are Locus/Gene ids from LocusLink/Entrez Gene then simply
use the "entrezgene" format of SeqIO. If your accessions are Genbank
nucleotide then you may be able to find the corresponding Entrez Gene ids by
parsing the gene2accession file of Entrez Gene yourself, there is no module
to do this in Bioperl but it will be easy. With these in hand you'll, again,
use SeqIO and entrezgene to find the corresponding GO terms.

You'll notice that my suggestions center around Genbank and Entrez Gene, but
there are other databases that assign GO terms besides these.

If you're new to Bioperl then taking a look at various HOWTOs could be
useful (bioperl.org/HOWTOs).
