Who we are

The Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC) is a worldwide collaboration. The core team is listed below, but the work is carried out by many more people around the world, who develop the ontology, annotate gene functions, and build and maintain the software and data behind it. You can find the groups and their members on the Annotation contributors page.
