How to get the gene function based on GO id?

Hello, I have an annotation file that includes two columns: gene_name and GO_id. How to get the gene function in different level based on the GO id?

gene_name                                   GO_id
Unigene60407_cheng_ma_9.6A   GO:0005626,GO:0042995,GO:0005790
Unigene52761_cheng_ma_9.6A   GO:0031981
Unigene21799_cheng_ma_9.6A   GO:0016020
Unigene10085_cheng_ma_9.6A   GO:0044444
Unigene21819_cheng_ma_9.6A   GO:0016020,GO:0005739

Thanks.

gene sequence

You mean GO Description?? ex GO:0042995 ==>cell projection

Yes, Just like :

  1. Biological Process

    alcohol metabolic process

    monosaccharide metabolic process

    amine metabolic process

    carbohydrate metabolic process

    metabolic process

    chitin metabolic process

    amino sugar metabolic process

    glucosamine metabolic process

    N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process

  2. Cellular Component

    cytoplasm
    carbohydrate binding

    catalytic activity

  3. Molecular Function

    chitin binding

    oxidoreductase activity

    pattern binding

    polysaccharide binding

you can download the entire GO file (go.obo)from GO database then parse the data. Simpler way is to get from biodbnet where input will be GO ID and output will be GO Annotation
