💖 GONAME ✨

okay so real talk, this is goname from the EMBOSS manual, section 1e, and it's genuinely one of my faves. let's get into it bestie 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

goname — find GO ontology terms by name. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it beautifully 💅

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

goname -query string [-namespace list] -subclasses boolean
       -obsolete boolean -goname outobo

goname -help

no cap, that second one is just her being like "hi i can explain myself" 😌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

goname is a command line program from EMBOSS ("the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite"). iconic. legendary. the moment.

she belongs to the "Ontology:GO,Data retrieval:Ontology data" command group(s), which is a very long way of saying she's your go-to girl for pulling ontology data. iykyk ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Input section

  • -query string — the thing you're searching for. your search term, your vibe, your whole reason for being here.

🌈 Additional section

  • -namespace list — by default, all terms get returned, no gatekeeping. but if you wanna be picky, you can limit the search to one or a few namespaces. Default value: * (aka everybody's invited 💖)

👑 Advanced section

  • -subclasses boolean — turns your query into a glow-up: it extends the matches to include all the terms that are specialisations (GO sub-classes) of whatever you matched. like, the matched type's whole extended family. Default value: N
  • -obsolete boolean — the default behaviour is to not use or return obsolete terms, periodt. but if you set this option, it'll include all the terms, obsolete ones and all. Default value: N
⚠️ heads up bestie — the default here is N for both of those, so if you're wondering where your obsolete terms went… yeah. that's why. 🙈

🍓 Output section

  • -goname outobo — where the results land. your output file. ✨
