locus_go_annotations
Fetch Gene Ontology annotations for any plant locus from QuickGO. Resolves locus to UniProt accession and returns GO terms grouped by molecular function, biological process, and cellular component.
Instructions
Fetch Gene Ontology annotations for a plant locus from QuickGO (EBI). Free, no API key. The locus is first resolved to a UniProt accession via the same logic as resolve_locus_to_uniprot, then QuickGO is queried by geneProductId. Returns annotations[] with goId/goName/goAspect/qualifier/evidence + a by_aspect rollup ({molecular_function: [{goId, goName}, ...], biological_process: [...], cellular_component: [...]}) deduped on goId so the high-level term set is one read away.
