Overview
The Synapse Gene Ontology and Annotation Initiative (SynGO) aims to:- Improve the Gene Ontology to accurately describe cellular components (CC) and biological processes (BP) important for synapse biology
- Provide expert curated annotations of pre- and postsynaptic genes using the improved Gene Ontology classes
SynGO is funded by the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute
