Meetings

The Cardiovascular GO Annotation Initiative is committed to ensuring comprehensive annotation of genes involved in cardiovascular processes and promotion of the Gene Ontology to cardiovascular scientists.

Attendance at meetings provides the team with the opportunity to encourage scientists to review the current annotation status of their favourite gene/protein and to suggest publications which could be used to improve these annotations. Attendance at meetings also provides the team with the opportunity to promote the use of GO and provide answers to any queries new GO users may have.
