_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The Gene Ontology Consortium maintains a controlled vocabulary of
     defined terms to describe gene products. hgu2beta7GO maps probe
     identifiers to Gene Ontology information including the ids,
     evidence codes, and ontology categories of the terms for the genes
     represented by the probe ids.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each probe id is mapped to a list containing one (mapped to none
     or one set of GO information) or more (mapped to more than one
     sets of GO information) elements. When a probe id is mapped to at
     lest one set of GO information, each element of the list contains
     a sub list of three elements named "GOID", "Ontology", and
     "Evidence". The value for element "GOID" gives the Gene Ontology
     identifier the key probe id corresponds to. The value for element
     "Ontology" can be an abbreviation of MF (mocular function), BP
     (biological process), or CC (cellular component) for the GO
     ontology category the GO id belongs to. The value for element
     "Evidence" contains an evidence code indicating what kind of
     evidence is found to support the association of the GO id to the
     gene represented by the key probe id.

     The evidence codes in use include:

     IMP: inferred from mutant phenotype  

     IGI: inferred from genetic interaction

     IPI: inferred from physical interaction  

     ISS: inferred from sequence similarity 

     IDA: inferred from direct assay  

     IEP: inferred from expression pattern  

     IEA: inferred from electronic annotation  

     TAS: traceable author statement  

     NAS: non-traceable author statement  

     ND: no biological data available  

     IC: inferred by curator

     Mappings between probe ids and GO information were obtained
     through their mappings to LocusLink ids. NAs are assigned to probe
     identifiers that can not be mapped to any Gene Ontology
     information. Mappings between Gene Ontology ids an Gene Ontology
     terms and other information are available in a separate data
     package named GO.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
