The way to do this is to transfer annotations by orthology, i.e. use annotations from orthologs in well-annotated species.

Thanks a lot. Could I run the GO annotation by myself?

What do you mean by 'run the GO annotation' ? You identify orthologs of your gene G in species X then take the GO terms associated with the orthologs of G in X and assign them to G. You could use more than one species to transfer annnotations in this way.

Hello, You can easily annotate GO functions for your own proteomes online using OMA: https://omabrowser.org/oma/functions/
