Download gene list associated with GO terms from DAVID

Is there a way to download all the gene list associated with a BP GO term (e.g. 0006281) from DAVID. For a few enriched GO terms I need all genes associated with those terms as background genes for further analysis.

I tried to get such gene list from GSEA database, but it seems the gene list is larger in DAVID than that in GSEA. I also tried the methods from a previous post (such as quickGo and Biomart), but it seems those methods will not extract the genes with descending GO terms (e.g., some genes have a more specific GO term which "is-a" child term of the current term). The genes I got through those methods is much less than those in DAVID.

A previous associated post suggested some methods.

Many thanks

GeneSCF is perl based tool where you can reterive complete GO (CURRENT) into simple tab-seperated table format (GOID GOTERM GENES).

Example :

Downloading current available database for Mus Musculus from Gene Ontology

./prepare_database -db=GO_all -org=mgi (OR)
./prepare_database -db=GO_BP -org=mgi
./prepare_database -db=GO_MF -org=mgi
./prepare_database -db=GO_CC -org=mgi

The above command downloads complete GO db as simple text file in following location, 'geneSCF-tool/class/lib/db/mgi/'.

Thank you. But finally I found an easy way. I uploaded all protein coding genes into DAVID and do enrichment analysis. Then download the overlapped genes with each GO terms. Although it seems the overlapped genes is a little less than those in DAVID, because I am only interested in protein coding genes, those are enough for me. Thank you all the same.

I would like to download GeneSCF to give it a try, but your website isn't working. Is it me or is there an issue? Thanks.

Hi emblake, it is working fine. Please check your firewall settings if that is creating any problem (othewise check with other internet/network connection source).

I cannot see any problems with the website. The download links are working fine. Please let me know if the problem persists.

For Plant GO annotation and enrichment analysis, try PlantRegMap.
