You can use the YeastMine Analyze tool available at SGD to get IDs, term names, or term definitions for _any organism_! This tool will return a table of GO ID, GO term name, GO term namespace (cellular component, molecular function, or biological process) and GO term description for each valid GO ID you supply. You don’t need to login or make an account to use YeastMine.

1. Go to the [Analyze tool on YeastMine](http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/bag.do)

2. In the Select Type pull down, select `GO Term`  

3. Enter your GO ids or upload a list in the full format (GO:0016020, GO:0016301…)

4. Click on `Create List`.  

5. The tool offers several options to download the list after you use the `Save a list of...` button.  

If you have a list of GO terms and wish to retrieve GO IDs and/or definitions, you can also use the steps above.

➡ Make sure multi-word GO terms are in double quotes (sporulation,”lactase activity”,”codeine metabolic process”) as the tool will otherwise recognize spaces as delimiters.
