[ensembl-dev] Missing GO data for bacteria when using API

[Dan Staines]

Hi,

Ensembl Bacteria GO annotations are generally derived from the 
corresponding UniProtKB entry, and in this case, the terms are identical:
http://bacteria.ensembl.org/methanocella_conradii_hz254/Transcript/Ontology/molecular_function?db=core;g=Mtc_0001;oid=molecular_function;r=Chromosome:38-805;t=AFC98776;tab=t
http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H8I517

However, please note that the terms used by UniProtKB for a given entry 
aren't always the same as those available from the GOA project (which 
you can see by clicking "Complete GO annotation in the UniProt entry):
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GProtein?ac=H8I517

The reasons for this are explained by UniProtKB here:
http://www.uniprot.org/faq/52

Hope this explains things!

Dan.
