AmiGO is the official tool for searching and browsing the Gene Ontology database. It allows you to explore a controlled vocabulary of terms covering biological concepts, and a large number of genes or gene products whose attributes have been annotated using GO terms.
Using AmiGO, you can:
- Search for a gene or gene product, or a list of gene or gene products, and view the GO term associations
- Perform a sequence identity BLAST search and view the GO term associations for the genes or proteins returned
- Search for GO terms and view the genes or gene products they are annotated to
- Browse the GO ontology and view terms

GOlr is the Solr index used by AmiGO. It has been adopted as the faceted search index for Monarch
